SUGAR MINERS
sugar miners
not for
minors
candy
finders
old joke going back
to the goldrush of 1849
the sweetness they
find down there
a seam so treaty
litigation and issues
of property rights
following
everywhere
but
I bought this face
from a robber baron
could not be
happier
at the game
history played
the dice loaded, the hired help
packing
alternate narrative notwithstanding
this is the way
it has always been
poems 2 die for
