Reflection of Hollywood During Advent
by Uriel TovarThere is no snow for me
A sunny day outside
No reminder to this slowing time
In this changeless
One season
Town
Plastic in appearance
Ever wood it should be renamed
A reminder that
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever rots
Teeth and
Skin
With surgical assistance
Become petrified
Ever wood
Potent reminder
That 50 is the new 20
And money really for nothing
Leads us to the reality that
We have found
New Istanbul.

| Posted by Gail Wolper on 12/08/12 at 12:50 AM Packs a punch. I like the way you wrote this. Istambul seems a bit obscure, perhaps a more obvious reference would be in line. But that's your call. Good write! |
