a journey of awareness
Sandy Spiderman hangs from a brokenCrane, threateningTo plunge all Broadway intoDarkness and disaster. Hovering in a rescue helicopterHigh above submerged housesMakes this seem a Monopoly setWhere the only pieces are mortgaged homes. What strength is there againstAn exploding power station?Not even a skeleton of a houseWhose foundations have sunk in quicksand. A roller coaster contorts aroundSailboats slammed together,And boardwalks splintered apartDrown among those felled by trees. [Disposable Poem November 1, 2012]Dr. Mike

ReplyDeleteSpiderman hangs from a broken
Crane, threatening
To plunge all Broadway into
Darkness and disaster.
Hovering in a rescue helicopter
High above submerged houses
Makes this seem a Monopoly set
Where the only pieces are mortgaged homes.
What strength is there against
An exploding power station?
Not even a skeleton of a house
Whose foundations have sunk in quicksand.
A roller coaster contorts around
Sailboats slammed together,
And boardwalks splintered apart
Drown among those felled by trees.
