April bloom

Sweet Arid dessert

Vroom

Why might you find yourself

When you are at the point of dust and frolic

Where the sky is pre rain perpetually

How is one to fend off

Who could be blamed

What could be gained

But an epiphany of the supposed truths of the desert

Molting snake are blind and bite

Third generation Arizonans don’t need to drink water because they have developed the ability to absorb moisture from the air

Some local people would discipline their children by making them pick out a large rock to carry above their head to the top of a nearby hill and back without stopping

Javelinas are not related to pigs

The most amount of immediate life saving moisture comes from the barrelhead cactus
