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