Walls, eyesore scabs, once whitewashed, bright, now drab,
concretely stand, discarded, sharded, glass
peppered with papered over panes, rehab,
pained, anguished shivers pass...

Once there, some say, experimental lab
tested theories ‘fresh’ for some sad mass
condo construction programs billed to last …
Shifty shadows harrow, narrow, grab
delinquency’s sad h[a]unting ground alas!
overstretched societal elastoplast.
Littered leavings, slivered shards, hard stab,
in shabby neighborhood no light, less class,
grey grieving rearing torn from earth by blast.
Naught now recalls trout tippling spring, where dab
once played, glade lending shade. Today sea bass
sweat toxic taxidermic tears in bargain basement crass.
Uniform urban ugliness, slab on slab,
stressed concrete pressed to duty jests green grass, ~
pity our pretty pass...
