driving down the highway
I see the Colorado River flowing west
now alfalfa stacked high on a semi-truck
water diverted
into fertile fields, now
driving down the highway
the Delta lies parched
ancient fertile estuaries transformed, instead
now alfalfa stacked high on a semi-truck
I see the Colorado River flowing west
60 miles an hour
driving down the highway
food for cows
which are food for people, but just
now alfalfa stacked high on a semi-truck
Rocky Mountain runoff
hydration and nourishment for the thirsty Gulfo de California
driving down the highway
now alfalfa stacked high on a semi-truck
