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