a promised rain
won't wet anyone's appetite anymore
parched that we all are
promises turn expectations round & round
making disappointment
just another business cycle
of course that's only my take on it
about the time the suits
suit up for another gala graduation
celebratory speeches from the mouth
of another three-mouth-monte
there'll be at least
a thousand more college students
in this town
kicked off the road
of so-called urban renaissance
leaving only
the borderlines of yet
another desolation highway
& the last of the survivors saying
god and growth
might just be dead
