Uncle History and Labor Day

Looking up, Uncle history
Sees the past—clouds
Represent Pol Pot
Treetops whisper
Of the slave trade
He has a neck ache
And his hands twitch
Holidays are hard
Labor Day? Don’t
Get him started
“Look! Up in the sky!
It’s Henry Ford
With a Tommy gun!”
There’s a cloud straight above
With a keyhole
At its center
