Caterpillars

Late Again

Compositor: Late Again

Concrete, steel, sticks, and stones
A caterpillar shattered my bones
Convert my flesh to square feet
Concrete, steel, sticks, stones, and me

Tuesday dawned stuck on a loop
The cat went up on the roof
High voltage cables placing their bets
The more I grow the smaller I get

Up goes another floor
Down comes another piece of me
Soon to crumble before
The gentrified home I live in

Up goes another floor
Down comes another piece of me
Soon to crumble before
The gentrified home I live in
