​CHI 92               MEM 108

In South Dakota
Near Mt. Rushmore
They are creating a monument
To Crazy Horse.

Have been
Since 1948.

Subtractive sculpture
Made from a mountain
With sticks of dynamite.

At midnight
On the Fourth of July
Explosions send rock tumbling
Heavily downward
Toward the pines.

Oohs and the aahs.

The clapping of white hands
And the flappity-fluttering
Of purple and green traveller’s checks.

Re-spect-acle.

A twenty-one gun salute
To a man shot out of the sky.

And one more rock
In the middle of nowhere.
