BIG PLANS


every fourth we
roll to the motor
city; my whole family

crowds around
fireworks and food,
pool parties full

of blown-up bodies,
the rafts slick with suntan
oil left behind
by old bloated flesh.

as detroit explodes
in the background, we glisten
and float as if death
were afraid of water
and good times.
