It was off world

Like the whole lot

Made little sense

I was small too

Sometimes adventured

/

Property was once worthless

sinking foundations

damp rising

a life in a closed factory

Superman and a naked Greek lady

Both worn

delicate decay

/

tetanus shots

cheap shoes

my girls head shaved

pooled water brown brawny

her dad beat her a lot

but she always smiled

young proud, built for this?

/

God was full of promise

I remember that look

timeless

my hand over her crew cut

always excelling, intelligent outstanding

still to this day forward onward

I am forever in awe

Only if I did that

that grass seems lush from here

/

yet i remember 

also celebrate

the constant change

/

and now the plastic walls

prebuilt, filled, sold off at profit

it has to have an 8 in it

twenty twenty still alive not

still life, but still a life

A life still
