TWO POEMS Adam Fell |
FROM AN UNATTRIBUTED SOURCE 1. Ten more have died today, There's a crossbow on the wall. a
colony of new garbage bags, 2. I eulogized the hill to your house, And for the record, yes, Beneath a newspaper on a sidewalk near Western We leave our used hands as an offering,
SURPLUS They've left two tanks in the parking lot
__ ON Surplus: second of three poems about
the Badger Army Ammunition Plant in Baraboo, WI, now a gutted behemmoth
of an ammo plant that created ballistics and propellants for the U.S.
Army beginning in 1943. In the early 90's it was discovered that 50 years
of improperly disposed-of chemicals and explosives had severly polluted
the soil and drinking water of many communities and farm families within
two miles of the plant, as well as many water run-offs into the Wisconsin
River. |
