The First Day

 

 

            Opera music, loud.

 

            Hammer to the wall

            Hammer to the wall

            The wall is falling

            I am laughing

            It’s great to destroy

            In all things

            I can relate to God

 

            Making the wires hang

            Missing and hitting the pipe

            Lifting the debris into containers

            I am a creator in all things

            Words

            Houses

 

            Maybe someday, people

 

            She smiles and takes a picture

            I turn and hold up the hammer.

            Yes.
