On Notice

I.

Aging 
is squatting
in a burned out building 
whose earthly real estate 
is worth more than 
the crumbling 

con
     s
     truc     tio
   n.

No 
one is coming
to rebuild 
us back to 
our former glory. 

II.

The eviction 
notice 
will be served 
without warning.

Surrounding 
landmarks will
evaporate to make 
room for the new.

Increasingly unfamiliar,
in just a few years,
we won't recognize 
our way back                                   home.

This is urban planning
of another kind.

Unkind.

III.

So busy 
becoming, that 
we forgot to 
notice we were 
all-ready 

history.
