no one warned us we could become this bored
[the young women of the midwestern cornfields]
or maybe they did
and we blanked them out
because their words tasted like yet another Cool Whip
Jello and Marshmallow salad
because their laughs were fictional as teenage abstinence
because their creased khakis and blonde hair droned on
of nothing but ranch dressing and choral music
in syllables as clean as Christian radio
