Cityscape

I am a triangular building

No longer foursquare.

When they took down that side

They removed a retaining wall.

I am an old multi-height building

With stored, up the stair,

Piled and labeled in the

Attic, all angers I recall.

If the indifferent modern builders

Place more boxes there,

The supports won’t bear the

Stress and the upper floor will fall.

Crumpled cinder blocks in weedy lots,

Rusty beams laid bare,

Unwanted property

Latest victim of the wrecking ball.

I am a triangular building,

Cracks everywhere,

Chips in my foundation

And suspicions dust my hall.
