Kid Candy

shovel dug into the ground
and the soil forms in mounds
then the roots thrown into fire — burnt down
weathered skin perspires
as he builds my world
don’t feel — hazed off
the sequel is lame
this land’s played out
not a spots the same
these hands can’t build
if to save my life
respect is key
it’s all that matters
cemont now can pour
foundations holds in floor
quick as life was bought — ask less
footing that was right
can’t be passed on
