lost in

Yukon not on Fodor’s 2003 map
thanks for Aca Nada

past’s men and women
read newspapers seated on grass
wait for decisions on eternal fates
trouble is geography and history
cannot be distinguished
with a visible birthmark
like identical twins

outsiders come
for adventure to get away
from debts old boyfriends
from the people they were
but did not want to be
dreams lost in archaeological
layers of time
