Skyscrapers<\/p>\n
\n
They said we never would, so we finally did<\/p>\n
by that time, we were all already dead<\/p>\n
just waiting for the light to show up and take us<\/p>\n
it didn’t, so the rage finally boiled over<\/p>\n
\n
I showed you how to make a good fire<\/p>\n
the gas canister pulled you down with it<\/p>\n
until you emptied it in the lobby<\/p>\n
there were so many, around us, laughing<\/p>\n
and when the sparks lit up a smile, I knew I loved you<\/p>\n
\n
The suited men, for all their millions, couldn’t fly<\/p>\n
they rained from the tops of the skyscrapers like well dressed rubble<\/p>\n
I held your ears in my hands because it bothered you, the way they hit<\/p>\n
and with my mouth I kissed your dirty forehead<\/p>\n
\n
The skyline was beautiful on fire<\/p>\n
the shadows danced on the smoke clouds above<\/p>\n
as if the great beast was dying before us, finally after all this time<\/p>\n
I held your hand and we cheered a new world, one rising from the rubble<\/p>\n
Where we would be something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
