Oklahoma

I heard it wasn’t
picturesque,

just frame
after frame

of the worst parts
of Texas.

Plains for miles
and miles

of plain.
So untrue.

There’s an Amalfi
Coast

in Tulsa
and it’s

wearing your
dress.

I heard it wasn’t
picturesque,

so untrue.
Maybe to

the casual
observer,

but not to
a casualty

of observing
you.
