ft. worth

first day of summer
my time was spent in ft. worth
smile on my face.
***
they're fuckin' it up
construction is everywhere
catering to cash.
***
almost all things good
are in the panther city
'cept for me & mine.
***
i miss my peoples
every motherfuckin' day
i ain't got none here.
***
the town of my birth
lived their almost 30 yrs
then one day we left.
***
i want to move back
but i know we're not gonna
we're east texans now.

thanks for tearin' down the wreck room. thanks for tearin' down north hills mall. thanks for buildin' all them fuckin' strip centers. thanks for wantin' to be a shittier version of dallas.

if you refer to ft. worth as funky town, fuck you.
