under new management

about every other year

the dry cleaners

puts up another red banner

on the wall out front.

under new management.

you may have seen it

while driving by

trying to get onto

the highway.

it's a white brick building

next to the 7-11

next to the trailer court

next to the prison

next to the ravine

that floods, next

to the swamp,

next to the sewage

plant, next to 

the shut down nuclear

power facility.

i'm not much a business

man, but i think there could

be a problem

with location.
