Alex Jordan's World
a roundel
One small part of his world of kitschy things,
Jordan's unique house on a rock unfurls
a red merry-go-round mid angels’ wings -
one small part of his world.
Chandelier lights, some twenty-thousand, swirl,
while a mechanical orchestra pings.
Two hundred sixty myriad beasts twirl
but nary a single horse rides the rings.
Stand back a little, put your mind awhirl,
the world's largest indoor carousel brings
one small part of his world.
