No matter where you go in this town
You find construction
Traffic congested Jack hammered
Holes
To nowhere
It’s never finished
No matter where I sit on this fence
I find barbed wire
Twisted stabbing coil of venom
On cold steel
I can’t find the other side
Did I ever learn to love?
Did you ever learn to dance?
Did I ever learn to give?
Did you ever learn to sing?
No matter where you puncture this heart
It’s holey
Surrounded by concrete
Sweat
And blood
It is perpetually
Under construction
