"I believe"---the poem

(Ed. note. I found this poem crumpled up and wrapped in a brown paper sack in a dumpster near the Old Ace Hardware on Main Street in Evansville. I rushed home to dry it out from the liquid stains and have worked diligently to preserve this text, which I have reprinted without editing.)




I believe
in
brick
solid and
brilliant
glaze


I believe
in
building
with money
taxpayer
money
mostly

I believe
in
brick
that lasts
forever
I
think---
I hope


I believe
in
windmills
and mini
museums
that last
forever
I
believe
