Old Police Station

people of the town argued

what to do with the old police station

it was rotting

sited on a valuable piece of real estate

could there be a grand concert hall there

people from miles away would come

grand attraction for thé community

a grand statement to wealth of the inhabitants

parking for commuters by day

for concert goers in evening

nixed from the get go

too grand a plan

now there is talk of low income housing

four stories high

one hundred units

in an already high density area

police station bulldozed

I am still searching

for five smooth stones
