Poems
Oct 2014
For ol' Eddie Alan
The guys from the demolishing
Team accidently broke a door
In the basement.
Things happen, but this door was
From the original building; built
In 1920. Covering it in bubble wrap
And writing HANDLE WITH CARE
All over it didn't help. The
Lithuanians were in a hurry;Β Β
No match for a speeding BobCat.
I carried the corpse out to the
Container, and thought to myself:
I'm gonna be the last man to ever
Knock on this *******...
I set it down (the oak thing was a
Good 95 years old), and wrote
On it in my finest lettering.
Chamber
.
Took off my glove and stood there,
Gently rapping,
calling out to
The guys by the forklift:
HEY! Name the bird, boys!
No response. Sometimes I feel like
I might not belong in construction.
