Hull

Ants constructing fortresses
In their concrete landscapes,

I am cultivating a green thumb,
A purple heart, an orange heat

Alighting the pygmy watertower.
This is no home for a long-hair boy.

They tax me, they chastise me
For playing with their ruddy reins.

The funnel-torn lakes of home
Are spinning and ripping away

From my busy, ant-like hands.
The watertower burns like a beacon.
