The Best Poem Of Sherman Alexie.
Evolution
Buffalo Bill opens a pawn shop on the reservation
right across the border from the liquor store
and he stays open 24 hours a day,7 days a week
and the Indians come running in with jewelry
television sets, a VCR, a full-lenght beaded buckskin outfit
it took Inez Muse 12 years to finish. Buffalo Bill
takes everything the Indians have to offer, keeps it
all catalogues and filed in a storage room. The Indians
pawn their hands, saving the thumbs for last, they pawn
their skeletons, falling endlessly from the skin
and when the last Indian has pawned everything
but his heart, Buffalo Bill takes that for twenty bucks
closes up the pawn shop, paints a new sign over the old
calls his venture THE MUSEUM OF NATIVE AMERICAN CULTURES
charges the Indians five bucks a head to enter.
Sherman Alexie. Comments
I love Sherman Alexie. He has the best wit and is so honest in everything he writes, but I do love his short stories and novels much more than his poems like 'The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight In Heaven.' He is great!
This is probably one of the best poets i have read from ever. He has a style that i admire thoroughly. He is very straight forward. I hope to read more of his work in the future.
i love his literally work and i want to be like him one day
When is this Me Too bs going to stop? Over the years I've had some bad experiences but none drove me to pretend my life was ruined! Women, you don't have to run to a lawyer or the New York Times! You can make money in other ways. Jump off this gravy train before it derails.
