years ago, before i walked the earth
there was a silence
a calm
the cars of today were elements buried deep within the earth
french fried potatoes didn’t exist then and the skyline was a misty impressionistic green
silence held it altogether
in the black and white photographs of yesterday no one smiled
they told no lies
those huge golden arches across the skyline today suck away all the green and leave me alone to wonder?
everyone smiles in photographs
but i know they stand in confusion of our consumer-driven world
i’m left without any answers
just a lingering for the past
