Daniel, thanks so much for offering this up for Books and Culture.

I read through it several times and decided that I enjoy the first stanza the best. You have such good rhythm there. I especially like

this stretch of desert
between boardwalk resorts
and coastline gone lank

That image is an interesting variation on the old adage between a rock and hard place. It implies a lot about the state of our culture.
