Too Big To Keep Inside

Not in a long while
Freshly painted courts
A few new cracks in that which divides
Branches without leaves

Using terms like Hills, Gardens, Manor
None of which are all that true
An homage is what they are
Which leaves today kind of flat

Passing over highway
Is aways fun
Passing people coming from back doors
On their way to somewhere
In assumed privacy

Laborers in orange vests
Slowly hacking away
Trimming back shrubs
Uprooting dead vine stumps
Just outside the darkness of tunnel
A lot of one-by's stacked like sticks
Rails tied in hold for replacement
Cables rated for tonnage
Shackles too big for hands
Rail wheels lined up for inspection

Not to be missed
Usually unseen
Upkeep
Work not underground
Or a box in the sky
A windowless world
That also prefers to be
Without walls
