the enormous building on the corner.
he was a business
man.
known
about town. he could have
been the mayor
if the wanted to.
beloved
by all who knew him.
but then came
the slow decline.
he forgot appointments,
names,
and places to be.
he'd leave the house
with stained
shirts,
baggy pants, that
sagged
on his thinning waist.
his eyes
had lost that shine.
and then i saw that the building
had been sold.
it was
painted a different
color, his name taken off.
it didn't take
long to find him though.
lying
beneath that beautiful
and
enormous stone.
