Dry, Desolated, And Dangerous Land

Of Eastern Grass, Eastern Landscape And, Eastern America

All Assumed By The New Bad landers

But Soon Canceled Out By Further Travel

Their Ecstatic Comfort Gathered

Viciously Wanting This Land's Beautiful Spring

Taking The Land Like The Moon Takes the Sun

Without The Night Catching Them

Time Paced Restlessly

After All The Wind-Warped Wars

Clarity Of Light, Clarity Of Power, Clarity Of Freedom Became Known

The Great Landscape Shouted With Different Colors

Dazzled With Color Like Mixed Weather

Rich Yellows And Browns Are Train Cars

Similarly, Different

Hundred Of Variations All Packed Into One

Creates Our Beautiful Landscape America
