Buy A Building With You Poem by Kewayne Wadley

I want to buy a building with you,
Something that we can both pass on
to miniature versions of ourselves.
Stone statutes & cement bricks
Influential of the fears of growth.
A building that we can walk in front of again
as different people year after year.
The philosophy of weathered brick
Gray & stained from grooved watermark,
Steadily sinking into the ground.
How far I've fallen,
The tallest building on the smallest block.
A monument of unification
Your name and mine signed together
on a dotted line
picking out different windows & new doors
my heart free to wander upstairs
brick by brick;
expanding upward in innovation.
My every thought of you
Meowing like a cat in the alley
Until that one stranger passes by
That changes its life forever.
I want to buy a building with you
Somewhere in the middle of Tennessee
