Culture Shock

I stare
At the ugly
Anglo
“Yield” sign
Patching an ancient
Adobe wall
And wonder —
Who is yielding?

— Stace Johnson, 1987

Cascade

Cascade

snowballs plummet
into frigid green water
float downstream
preserved
to join icy
CONDOMINIUMS
on the river

— Stace Johnson, 1987

Aerial Roadblock

Hey! Yo! Are you listening?
I think I love you!
I’ll do anything for you, I promise.
Are you listening?

Never mind. Forget it.
You can’t hear me anyway with that
Damned Jet
Flying overhead.

— Stace Johnson, 1987
