Our Old Water Tower

That big spider that lives at the edge of town,
she watches over everyone.

She's carbon-steel and concrete —
tougher than you or me.
She sways in the wind, though.
That's something I find
relatable.

I try to tell myself that I actually live
in the most interesting place in the world,
if I would just open my eyes and
take it all in —
as it is and as it isn't.
