Dirty


The dirt in your city
our city
is from a permanent floating
earlier time
I touch you in it, feel you in dust

Other cities
let them be clean
Sell that
Glimmer and immaculate slate
to make beautiful vacation memories
Snap shot, splash, suntan lines, service
Wipe clean with bleach
for the next

Our city is filthy beautiful
with fallen dreams
almost heroes
and the earth glory of industry fires and
the world's greatest romances
dust to dust.
