After Devaluation |
| by Stephen Page |
| The rains never really end in Buenos Aires
But are broken only by a day of less humidity Followed by a day or two of clear Uozoned sun that quickly reddens the skin.
They say it never rains in sunny southern California But unrained skies are only tolerable Near the coast where atmospheric pressure temperates Enough that desert does not creep cactus to the sea.
Patagonia is a voluminous place to truck If bottled water carries thirst away And sandy air doesn’t scrub the throat Like oversalted lamb jerky.
Beef is best from Las Pampas Where cows roam grassly fed Unencumbered by wooden stocks And biled ochre corn slop:
I wish my oversea letters would arrive, And ink cartridges did not cost a fortune.

After Devaluation immediately brought to mind the disintegration of the middle class and the diminished purchasing power of workers plus reduced wages by government policies and exploitation of the megacorps and megabanks . On top of that the right to vote in America is a mere illusion of democracy.
