day 2, poem 2

that old pizza joint 
west corner of the strip mall, on the main drag,
it was abandoned after last year's floods, you realize.
windows're covered with newspapers,
there's garbage on the floor.
and sandbags leaning against the door
like used-up old men, still waiting
for the next big rain.
