In the museum for mostly wood art
where the work's fragile and may fall apart
there is a wheeled little grey metal cart
known as the petting zoo of extra parts.
Well, they are mostly wood, obviously.
There are some golden bits, as you can see.

Between wire, brick, and stone exercise yards, overgrown, cell nearby for Al Capone, population not well known, praying Jews could feel at home in a place to call their own, lit by lights that say "shalom", thus describes the guide headphone.

No waste pickup for a week, dumpsters placed that all may seek. Populace chimes in critique, "We don't want to scab now."
Garbage bringers come at night, stacking trash bags to great height, shyly slinging by moonlight, noting, "Smells real bad now."

Golden hair, and golden rings, and arms and legs adorned with ink. Rapid fire fingers flick an endless travel photo stream. Also endless monologue; never pauses, never breathes. Boyfriend isn't even looking, just keeps pawing at her knee.
