In the middle of
the infield
during a stock-car race,
he lifts his camera
from the roaring before him
and snaps several shots
of barbed wire
atop a chain-link fence
with the blue sky behind it.

Yeah,
it’s spelled weird
You pronounce it
“Wistah”
Easier to say
with a cigarette in your mouth
and a chip on your shoulder
Give it the strongest grit you can offer
in the face of the unrelenting
derision
Remember
the “Wist”
is for
wistfulness
a wish for it to be
something else
the “Ah” is for
“Ah,
whatever…
it is what it is”
