Fast times in nostalgia land (Florida, USA)

We sang: retro post-modern.

With tattoos of Lynard Skynard

And boats sailing

At high mast.

 

Mediocrity accepted as norm.

 

We came rarely,

For legal reasons.

 

Religion stained our blood,

And our *****

With pine smoke fragrance.

 

Laughter,

Few and like

Stucco condos-

 

Birds whispered secrets to life

As we murdered each other with silence.

 

Sun rise:

Gleamed positivity with

Bling chains of Christ.

 

We danced while naked and alone,

Another legality-

 

And culture was processed in the blender of commerce-

Black and white word puzzles plagued our lethargic minds.

From triviality—

Transience.
