Abner and Jeremy poke
around a hole they’ve found
in a vacant lot.

Jeremy says,
what used to be here?
I don’t remember much about it.

Dunno, says Abner.
Maybe a post office? There are
a lot of flags and messages
on the fences.

You’re an idiot,
retorts Jeremy.  They don’t
keep holes where post offices were,
they rebuild them.  It’s not like
post offices aren’t a dime a dozen,
anyway.  Look at how many there are.
You can’t walk ten blocks without passing one.

Well, I don’t know, says Abner.  Looks like
some government thing.  It’s been a while
anyway, it seems, from the look of it,
so who could know for sure?
It’s a big hole, though.

That it is,
says Jeremy.
 That it is.  Deep one.

Eh.
Someone will put something up on it,
land’s not cheap and leaving it empty
won’t be an option.

Pity, shrugs Abner.
We could use a little light, some more space,
a few less buildings. 
All you see is buildings these days.

I hope it’s a good one, says Jeremy.
Something to look at, maybe some nice apartments?
A school maybe?

Not likely, says Abner,
nobody wants to build a good home
for anyone anymore
unless they’ve got money and a lot of it.

Eh,
they both say,
wait and see what they build.
A good bet we won’t like it.
