Hour Fourteen

Ekphrastic

Screw class. Love is more important.

But I need cash.

Constructing our lives together by looking into a construction site through a diamond cut hole?

I watch buildings rise. What concrete? What mortar? What do I use as beams, without a foundation?

I’ll go to class, looks like just missed first period.

As my grandpa said, “Assess, reassess and aim high.”

I’m sitting at a construction site, watching a building rise through a diamond cut hole.

Where am I going? How do I rise up? Not by sitting on the outside. Building nothing of myself out here.

Aim high, school. DMW
