Rest in Pieces
Skinner’s Falls Bridge
Make Studies and Surveys.
The snail sets the pace.
Bury millions of bucks
in ridiculous waste.

Ask public opinion
from expert to folk.
Then lay down your cards
at the end of your joke.

Blow smoke through your teeth.
Pretend you once cared.
Then blow up that relic
that you never repaired…

Mourning for Skinner’s
is painful because
there’s no “is what it is”
once it ain’t what it was.
