Detroit high-rise
powerless
in the face of
folded nostalgia
in a mosaic display
lost in a malfunctioning dream
with a coveted grand piano
covered in sheet music
in a Detroit high-rise
the sophistication of foolish
unincumbered dribble
trivial divisions and
exuberate vitriol
it's a mixed voyage
this trip
indifferent to incisive pain
the tilt in the scale
so pronounced
it isn't even
given a name
what's on display
in this makeshift space
that isn't the trophy of
the stronger side's desire
approaching the ledge to give
rhapsody a sip of chardonnay
before setting the whole
goddamn place on fire
