TAKE TAKE
Take this, insane patter, crazy warlord,
mother of pearl handgun revolver barrel casing
inlay, petrify the stonemason and alleviate the
quirk. Anything different, take and make it the
same. I saw your house today, all done in
orange and yellow. I don't know why, but it
reminded me of the drone of a flaming sun
coming down the mountain to consume
the valley - yet I couldn't look away.
-
I spent the today in Chestnut Hill - some
puerile-glorious outcropping above the land
of Philadelphia; took Germantown Avenue
all its way out, past hundreds of slum folk
walking about, past twenty stone homes
still amass with their beauty but ruined.
The old is all gone. The new is but
leftover wreckage and ruin.
