The Building (Up)
By Yusuf Misdaq
Relinquish your rights to property
Ownership of hearts and
Lawn mowers.
You've not been made to cash in
Claim refunds or rebates.
You've been made to empty out your slop buckets
And gush off the waterworks,
Liquids, pipes, pressure and valves.
You've been made to totally fall apart.
2009. Washington D.C.
