Thick, gray liquid
melts down the slide
pouring into a mold
Beginning to resemble
something real
Before it hardens
becoming permanent
they can change it
shape it, until the concrete
settles just the way they want
The sludge hardens overnight
into it's permanent bed
Deviants sneak up
feeling tricky and they
leave their mark for good
The brand new structure
everyone marvels at
Solid and comforting
representing a safe journey
until it's taken for granted
Time wears it away
Pieces erode into dust
No one notices
Until construction begins again
And she finds someone new
to be her concrete
