Don’t Lose Hope Son Keep Digging (Bussokusekika)
Edwin Tanguma 1966 (CA)
About this poem
Over the last 20 years I have been keeping tabs on my little 10 acres and I’ve always known it to be on Southwest Sunsites Road…For some silly reason someone sent me to N John Conley Road saying my property is located there…Well I beg to differ…It even appears that some large local cattle rancher has fenced up the larger portion of my property…I guess he’ll be the one having to pay the surveyor’s fees to prove that the land is his…And Van Horn considers their town Christian and God fearing…Well maybe they are in their own minds…I know who Am I…Oh well…I guess I’ll have to go file a formal complaint to have the fence removed on Monday…Until then My Father wants me to drink a few more for him tonight…Heck…I was only going to purchase 1 case and he insisted that I purchase 2…Go figure…
