Leaving the Wolves

rural, far-northern California - nursed them with baby bottles and venison - the tea kettle’s whistle wasn’t normal today - I started working here in 2008 - clearing vegetation around power poles and power lines is not interesting - families stay here for generations, republicans and libertarians rule - Kyle can be an alcoholic because he can’t lose his job - the Jews own all the banks and keep all the money for themselves - what a stupid woman I am for believing the Holocaust happened - he aims his snout toward the sky and begins his song
