in this clumsily-built democracy,
our cement warehouse bunks
will be the un-ministered tip of

what we did right.

unforseen invitations to build
kitchen-sink luck-light harbors
where we turn away from

smoky streets of thousands

to return to the trouble when
denied imprisonments clamor;
new names walk the walls -

"climb what you think," they say.

we assaulted the compromise,
swept the shattered glass,
replaced the news-stands.

there were places we didn't belong.
