Cities Do Not Last

thrown into the trash heap and left to die again
only this time I tossed myself in
along with the used diapers
and condoms, and bad produce
and shit stained lingerie

i was here
but now i am gone

i toil with
and rest in the fact
that this city is not my home
but that i long for the city
that is to come
this city will not last
it too, just like me
will be thrown into
the trash heap
left to die
