They made a mountain<\/p>\n
out of dirt,<\/p>\n
crumble slopes<\/p>\n
to flat plateau<\/p>\n
with tread prints<\/p>\n
all around<\/p>\n
but no machines<\/p>\n
in sight \u00e2\u20ac\u201c<\/p>\n
and there it sat,<\/p>\n
fenced in<\/p>\n
setting, hard<\/p>\n
from all the chills<\/p>\n

their pants,<\/p>\n

sending avalanche of dirt<\/p>\n
and dust rocks<\/p>\n
down the side?<\/p>\n

a dance, up on top<\/p>\n
took place:<\/p>\n
boot\/sneaker<\/p>\n

of bull dozers, now<\/p>\n

over cold iron fence (as<\/p>\n

the mountain away<\/p>\n

bandits<\/p>\n

like it was love.<\/p>\n
