BRICK HOUSES By Donald Fisher
I love brick houses
because
you can see
how they were built.
You imagine
guys in stained white overalls
troweling
laying each brick in place.
Other houses
I have no feeling for.
Sure
some people would
could
tell me how they were put up.
And they’d be right.
They should write their own poems
about mixing cement
laying foundation
putting up drywall.
Me?
I’ll write what I know
about brick houses.
