5035. ONE MILLION RUDIMENTS

ONE MILLION RUDIMENTS
At the basement stairs the doorway  -  
running the length of the building, against
glass and steel. The wide fence stayed open.
A sycamore tree grew, for years, and covered 
over a few of the old steel tines. The fence never
twisted; stayed straight. No one ever showed up.
-
Such a lonesome, plaintive cry  -  a kitten, a cat
with a mangled ear, one dog, limping away.
