The City I Was Born In
(copyright 2025 by Michael Walker)
Dying in the city
I was
Born
In
Nothing to do
In this
Familiar
Foreign
Land
Dying in the city
I was
Born
In
The Chinese Restaurant
And the
Auditorium
Gone gone gone
Dying in the city
I was born
In
Walking downtown
Just to
Sober up
Dying in the city
I was
Born
In
Longing for a
Concert
On the
Courthouse
Lawn
Dying in the city
I was born
In
A summer furnace
All the churches
Closed
