95

So you want to build a skyscraper,
a needle in the cloud
to grow up with the sidewalks
that know it better than its own buildings,
and the boy with the baseball cap who never moved away

Maybe the tourists will see it and want
to know something about you

So take a picture of the corner store
where you sit on Sunday afternoons
with your cigarette
though it won't get that swamp off to the left
where that tire used to be.
