aptsvetwhen he stepped out the city was away
a boulder here and there a grassy plot
there was a voided skyline where it may
have been an eye-blink back but now was not
a blue jay wailed over his head because
it was unable to locate its nest
when he looked back where his own door just was
his tenement was gone with all the rest
somehow unlike the blue jay he was calm
life is much more than an apartment block
except that there was idling in his palm
the pointless key with nothing to unlock
neither the door to tear the sky apart
nor love now safely locked within his heart
