Like the corner of my mind
An ode to my previous home (I like my new place much better but figured it's a good idea to remember what I left)
Oh Park of Hayden
How I will miss
Your many facets
The constant traffic
Both mechanical and pedestrian
Like a polluted stream
The first night; auspicious
The drunk, woman beater upstairs
Shattered the front window
Two cars broken into
In two years
Why steal cell phone accessories?
What better way to wake at 2 a.m.
Then to hear drunken girls peeing
Outside my bedroom window
The Betos, ever present
Greasy taco smells
Greeted me every morning and evening
Goodbye temporary home
I shared with my cold-hearted Ex
May you be burned to the ground
And your foundations salted and radiated
As a warning to future generations
LOL, I think I may be a bit bitter. Or maybe the new place is so cool that the old place really does feel like a place where war crimes were committed.

Nice.
I enjoyed.
Looks like something I'd expect to see in a poetry anthology somewhere.
