The Poet T. S.
Referred to us as
Flowers in the concrete.
Not Eliot, Pac.
And he was right too
When bricks fell from abandoned buildings,
We used them to draw Skelly and hop-scotch
Courts in the street.
When the stores dumped old crates in the lot,
We cut the bottoms, nailed them to trees,
And played basketball all night long.
We were true to our heritage,
Making something out of nothing.
We grew up and had children.
And what did we give them?
Electronic, virtual fun
On 42 inch television sets.
Shame on us for not giving our seeds
The stuff to become larger flowers
Than us.
