Navajo Children's Home


I hate to see what I'm expecting to see

based on Sherman Alexie

 

But I've seen so many casinos

Smoky adobe lean tos

 

Piles of tires 

and billboards awaring the public of child

abuse and drunken driving

 

That I kind of am

 

But I like the modest and comfortable homes built out of the earth

or maybe the earth is built out of the homes

 

Albuquerque
