October 12, 1940—the cowboy star’s last ride.

A site in Florence, Arizona, Tom Mix memorial is filed here for what the record attaches to it. October 12, 1940—the cowboy star’s last ride. The name the accounts keep returning to is Tom Mix.

Tom Mix is the '40 — the 'Cord' that's the crashed, the 'suitcase' that's the neck. The 'Tony' is the horse — the 'wonder' that's the riderless, the 'statue' that's the wash. The 'King' is the cowboys — the '291 films' that's the made, the 'ten-gallon' that's the white.
The 'Wash' is the named — the 'Tom Mix Wash' that's the called, the 'spirit left' that's the plaque. The 'Hollywood' is the lie — the 'Texas Ranger' that's the claimed, the 'Spanish-American' that's the invented. Tom Mix is the memorial — the 'Pinal County' that's the marker, the 'first cowboy' that's the star.
The file keeps Tom Mix: the 1940 crash, the suitcase neck, the Tony statue, and the invented past.
Tom Mix Memorial is the archive's Arizona file — the king's wash.
