6'' of Tetanus

I'm standing on 6'' of tetanus
                                      in a place where the walls tell stories
scattered drill bits, abandoned lives               
a company desk.

The artist offers his condolences,
her paint shadowing a bare crib-corner             

A frozen Chevrolet curls near the gymnasium,
which echos of Converse treads

The glass box office, 
                                  a silent cymbal for hope
has settled for lesser cut-palm dreams

But the generator stands at attention, waiting for the switch
as the devious crystal tube trapt metal treasures tireless dusted kerosene                              
a switch silent evermore
