A Breakdown is
Messy and loud –
An en media res
Heathen sound –
A crashing down ---
Like pagan workers
Who carelessly
Throw away cast
Away bricks – from
Long ignored
Pyramids – just
To load machine
Made construction
Beams –
The metal
Street slowly,
And surely you
Will hear the Snap –
The breaking,
Falling Wreck ---
Such a sound:
Total – Forlorn –.
