I saw you
in my sidewalk
I fell on top
of you I’m
sorry
if I hurt
you but you
hurt me
even
more you’re
gushy, mushy,
and hard I
like that you
make up all
my sidewalk
you make some
beautiful armatures
that support
some of artists’ sculptures like some
of the ones in Chicago’s Garfield
Conservatory. Plus I make drawings
on you.
