I Wana Be An Apache. Poem by Atef Ayadi

i want to live in a desert.
starting my own tribe.
i call it,
katata kiowa,
or
huahuachi katcata for example.
i label it reservation,
church of nature,
and put under
the unesco ironic world heritage,
or shouldn't i?
because, these people are white,
possibly representing
the 'original' twenty five tribes,
plain and simple.


in the us,
everything
is indexed and annexed like crimea.
parks are either the state's
property or the fed's back golf course.
in all cases
it is for grab,
i mean for the higher bidder.
