23 | He was born on a few separate occasions _green traffic ligts at night_ | ||
24 | |||
25 | There was the day of his conception \ _a TV in front of a dumpster_ | ||
26 | a wintery affair saved for those involved | ||
27 | |||
28 | The day he wriggled forth \ | ||
29 | from the dark tunnel of nothing \ _surprise photo of you at Walgreen's_ | ||
30 | his mother's womb | ||
31 | |||
32 | The founding of his little city \ | ||
33 | deep inside by the smal builders \ _a pink dress in the alley behind your house_ | ||
34 | alien as they were and still \ | ||
35 | somehow intimately familiar | ||
36 | |||
37 | Like any city it had its ups \ | ||
38 | and downs the fever of 1994 \ _me buying a Reese's peanut butter cup for a child_ \ | ||
39 | was especially devastating \ _[whose family couldn't afford it]_ \ | ||
40 | but they were a hardy folk \ _in front of me in line at Safeway_ | ||
41 | not much given to flight | ||
42 | |||
43 | As all things must pass the \ | ||
44 | little city began slowly to decay \ _trees at night their skeletons_ \ | ||
45 | the old ones claimed the young \ _revealed by a camera flash_ | ||
46 | had no respect for culture anymore | ||
47 | |||
48 | They began to die off slowly \ | ||
49 | more quickly than being born \ _two earthworms on pavement after a rain_ | ||
50 | the end was coming closer | ||
51 | |||
52 | As the last breath was made \ | ||
53 | the last accounts closed in the city _keys tacked to a sign in Buffalo Park_ | ||
54 | |||
55 | It was given over to other builders _man flipping a four-wheeler and walking it off_ | ||
