TOILET

 TOILET

Was the toilet placed on the 

Sidewalk on Austin Street

As a symbol of what we've become?

So many have left the city

For greener pastures

More room

Less crime

Much cleaner

Who needs New York?

Not all  have run away

 Some have stayed through

The worst  of times

What makes the city vibrant

Are the people who live here

As long as enough stick around

It will make a comeback

And the toilet bowl 

On Austin Street will just be a 

Toilet bowl someone threw away

Or perhaps an avant-garde garbage bin.
