Excerpt from Measuring For Balance by Author Demitri Tyler

Primed Real-estate

Primed real-estate
an old army base
holding refugees
in a postcard called
San Francisco

Prime real-estate
a closed army base
called a community
not on the postcard
of San Francisco

Prime real-estate
a closed army base
near a candlestick
where they experiment
on colored refugees
in San Francisco

Prime real-estate
a closed army base
a failed experiment
a wretched project
an ugly blemish on
the postcard of
San Francisco

Primed real-estate
a closed army base
expects a brand new face
worthy of postcard grace
once the refugees are
kicked out of San Francisco
refugees on prime real-estate
always first to go
