The Poipet Dance

surfing through the moonroad
toward the Thai border
we dance to the beat 
of war of
war
unresolved to
this day 'til maybe tomorrow .

Aranyaphratet is where our poverty
should end
as we dance as we
dance to the Poipet beat
of war of
war
unresolved to the span
of a five-second asphalt
and days-length of disrepair.

the puppet dances the Poipet
dance captive to the beat
of war of
war 
unresolved to these words
long unused:
spoils go the victors' way.
