I think I feel
(I think I want to)
Good about plants growing green
(I think that is a very good thing)
Lush and buxom up the creaky eaves
Of the mansion which sits abandoned
On the southern corner of Thornwald Park,
Falling apart.
I think I see
(I think I want to)
The satchel of a squatter
Slid under the boxed porch
(collecting dust, free at last);
An army-green bag
Stuffed with maybe old bananas,
Hubcaps, unusable keys.
I wheel around
In the clearing,
But there is no squatter,
No sign of life
(not even old cigarette packs
or bottles of Heineken).
I think I feel
(I think I feel)
A concrete envy
Of the life which must take place here:
Swatting Mayflies in the heat-soaked dusk
As somewhere in town the banks are closing
And television sets click on,
Heating soup on a Bunson burner
Imagining all of history
In a clearing in Thronwald Park.
