Ode to Charleroi (Original poem for my old shop, shutting down)

wind whistles through the old worksite

ghost hammers beating down the day

no more treads on the turnstiles

weeds and trees blasting blown out bays

no more typing tallies and timesheets

turn to a crow startled from a beam

nightbird family living in an old dream

crackled cockroach concrete cooled

so dawn goes down to day to dusk

nothing gold can stay...

it rusts.

So M.M sits their broken hearted

His shop is closing broken aparted

He lied to his men about the shut down

Now he is stuck their with Larry the clown

No motors to build kits to pack

Whos going take the garbage out back

Well we know the guys were the best around

Now the can bring the scabs from Houston tour town

So I finish my poem with this last thought

He can cut grass with the trailer that WFT bought.
