Failed Project

My workday train ride takes me past a major set of public housing high-rises. Or, it used to. They've almost all been demolished. Tonight I noticed that one was still standing, empty, yellow brick glowing in the winter sunset.

A housing project stands alone,
Awaiting the wrecking ball.
It won't be long before it's gone.
I'll miss it - not at all.
