4th and Wall

Over the					paunch
Chain link fence surrounds			the
Sidewalk					there
At the freeway entrance				Pasadena
Time						tide
Waiting cut					off
Chain						link
Fence “When					all
Stitches sew the sentence			up.”
Up						where?
Between						the
One						meter
Steps of					poured
Concrete:					in.
We are such crap…				yielding
Capital ethic					working
The ‘in’					service
Of some						rising
Material function				faith
That						rings
With						salvation
“Ah! Yes”					idealism
OK!						Run
With						blocks
Of bricks stacked one				upon.
Do you really capture				this
Essence						panorama?
Are expressing a				truth?
Are						you?
Rough winds					higher
Up around the building 				roof (tops)
See the						clouds
Then						breathe
Notice the					roses
Decoding meaning within a 			two
By four square along				side
Your						thoughts
