Six feet in height
four inches wide
dog-eared on top
wood pickets line my yard.

Three stories high
thirteen rooms each
gables on top
twelve houses line my block.

Seven miles wide
fifteen miles long
trains running through
black pavement lines my town.

Wide open space
Umbrella sky
Antelope graze
Barbed wire lines the range.

One day, I swear,
I’ll take myself
Out to a place
Where nothing lines the world.
