Today we drove through
where the other half
of one percent lives
mansions too big for
just one family to live
so the help lives on site
we imagined the modest
houses might have seemed
ostentatious forty years ago
now dwarfed by multitiered
turrets with garages
to store spare garages
we found a space to park
in front of a mailbox
behind a horse trailer
to walk to the river
where some war type things
happened ago in the past
nearly encountering a field
where golf insurrections
beside sewage treatment
last night I dreamed
the cat caught a bird
and took her time eating it
stretching the wings
until you could see
the sinews in the cartilage
the cat continued playing
with the bird but I could feel
the heart beating beneath
the muscle a future corpse
hanging on for dear life
while the hunter had its way
with the helpless prey
