Trenton Makes

Trenton makes, the world takes

I woke up this morning nine stories tall

the sounds of jack hammers and back up alarms

tolling church bells joined the cacophony of

wailing sirens screaming like demented demons

the sounds of a city come to life

Trenton, a city of broad backs and stiff pants

my building is a cuckoo’s nest

Ah Trenton, ah world, ah so!
