I love to sit in the ugly place

The benches look like they’re rotting

But it’s not rot

They’re so dry they cackle when you try to sit down

But they look rotten

The grass there refused to grow

There’s always dust around the benches

Not regular dust

Desolate dust, you can feel it

It’s so quiet there the sand begs to be noticed

And the ugly rot green of the benches

But it’s the old walls of the house

The one with the dusty walls

Old dust that’s so firm it’ll never leave

The house in front of which the rotten benches live

It’s the walls

Rather what’s written on them

Useless words

Letters that don’t make words

Words that mean nothing

Words that mean everything

Words that mean people were here
