The Great Deception

dew hangs like
sagging breasts from
wilting sky scrapers.

antique store wags its
crinkled legs at
technicolor citizens.

slates in sidewalk
grin sheepishly
with dusted teeth.

the dichotomy of
such magenta remembrance
and gaseous nostalgia


antiquities, gravel forth on unkempt soil!
antiquities, make tiger-like love to broken Nostalgia in
teepees, moaning crass crescendos at spying mosquitoes…

so suave Europeans look by at crooning entities
blushing Shakespeare’s red,
red roses…
