Littlecity
I.
busted town
held up by the casino
new fire trucks
new ambulances
new medical clinic
new dental chairs
new psych help and yet
empty store fronts wait openin'
wait boomdays surely comin'
the Lumberjack so long closed
its windows so lonely they weep threads
from abandoned hand-tatted lace
scratched chipped white plates
saucers flatware pots pans pitchers
coffee cups lined up wanting
hardware store shuttered
twisting greying lumber
crushes rotting stickers outback
...
For Thursday April 8th
