The Big Hole

The sun was like
a clean spotless mirror
shining on everything
White sidewalks tanned the skin
There was a hole in the middle of the buildings
Something demolished
to be built again
At first I grew excited
about the new architecture
and then I felt dismayed
The walls of the other buildings
stood tall next to the hole
Ugly
and symmetric
I wanted them gone too
so we could see the blue sky
from here
to there
