A Ladder on Michigan Avenue
A ladder leans against a scraper
planted along Michigan Avenue.
The rungs splintered long ago,
coarse,
brown wood swelling up beneath the bolts,
time tearing through the boards.
The concrete tower shoots up to the clouds,
but
her golden foundations tarnish,
and the fire escapes succumb
to rust.
