    "Lessons in Underdevelopment"
    Out the windows of a bus,
             I see stones shattered
             by the roots of trees.
    We sleep by a graveyard
             and I take photos in the darkness,
             exposing a million tiny, moonlit shrines.
    She sells tortillas by the kilogram
             but, at our ignorant request,
             counts out fifty,
             one by one.
