boundless
as soft yellow daffodils
on forgotten ancient
burial mounds
in suburban america
flourish

an abandoned mac donald’s
waits patiently
rich new cultures
mingle and mix
mutating beyond recognition
corrupted by hope

aging lovers quarrel
over long-lost memories
lies never told
betrayed children
dance on plastic beaches
at their expense

the brooding artist
a forgery of fashion
plagiarized reality
and fake passion
brings the only light
the only redemption

Peace/Love
