BETWEEN THE APPLE AND THE ANGELS

Fly over
Much lower
No account
No amount
Iowa votes
Politics notes
Soon forgotten
Something’s rotten
Women’s suffrage
Wyoming’s roughage
Kansas corn
D.C. scorn
Land of enchantment
Disenfranchisement
Navajo Apache
Pay the fee
Fly over
Much lower

Dys, so much went through my mind, yet I'm not at all sure any of it comes close to what you meant.
One of the first things I thought of was crop dusting, spreading pesticides and fertilizers without thought of the consequences.
Then I thought of all the times people fly over that empty country, without knowing it or caring about it.
Of course the Navahos and Apaches pay nthe fee. I guess no one flies low enough to realize the disparity of life styles in the land of enchantment.

I enjoyed your piece. Thank you for making me fly lower to really see the country I love so much.
