Nails
Aliens would render us useless
if they sucked all our nails
with some powerful magnet
like a big vacuum sweeping
up bobby pins
we would be a mess
without our carpet tacks
and gutter spikes
penny size brads
hammered down with the gusto
and sweat of a nation's brawn
a rapture of galvanized proportions
they'd leave the buns and beehives
of our landscape
in disheveled heaps, raped
uncoiffed bedrooms and barns
bad hair days scattered
across America
