See The Police Coming

My body took a beating as I flew off the swings…
and I connected inky stars as the ground came
into and out of focus underneath me. My friends got
busted on the reservation for being too high.
They stood with edges of sneakers hanging over the
steepest hill topping suburban homes none of
us could loan enough to buy- Patterning the roofs of
the couples hurt and the couples walking away from
things they built. We are the contractors asked to
watch over the construction of houses set on stilts.
And throats were paralyzed in the grip of cigarettes
and water bottles full of Jameson. The world clicked
by like a Rubik’s Cube- just some colors meant to be
arranged, but wrongly moved. My train tracks stand iron
quiet …waiting to shoulder heavy weight of the city’s
passenger trains on them. No one saw the police coming.
A town made of money erected out of warming worry…
Let them take us. We seen all we should already.
