water ::
the brick the brick the pattern brick

coming up along the wall
the single story single wall
the iron gate the fronted door
the window arch the evening sun

the brick the brick the pattern brick
the shapes the form the pattern brick
the red the lines the pattern brick
the thick the thin the pattern brick

the evening sun the dusty air
the gentlemen with rakes not there
the cotton smoke the pipe's not there
the wall's as fake as summer
