Ode to Commerce City

City o city
City of commerce
City of putrid dreams
Where failure is just
A meth score away
Where teeth match
The shade of the air
City of dirt
City of abandoned hope
Where failure is just
A leathery face
Away
Where hell is just
A layer of filth
Away
God bless us all,
The God-forsaken
Car won't start
City of industry
Industry of death
Where dreams slip through
Nicotine-browned
Fingertips
And chapped lips
Between well drink sips
Hallelujah
Welcome
We all float down
Here
