on the Lafitte greenway

bricks tumbled from the wall
crumbled on the ground
construction hats turned my way
telling me to give the wall a lot of space

this wall must come down for something new
give something else a chance, a part of me said
but the graffiti cried out to me
"what about us?"

I move forward
though it may strain to look back,
we must remember what we have come from
what we have gone through to get here.
