Shutdown
Abandoned Homes (1972)
The winos were removed In wheelbarrows Early this morning.
The air-conditioning Was turned off.
The bricks have all Been stacked up By the river; the clocks Have been unplugged.
Light bulbs blown.
Only the clean-up Crew lingers behind.
Leftover TV antennas Tilt like manic Clotheslines.
The fire hydrants Stand about nervously.
The rats are suicidal.
