{...."monopoly"....}

Milton Bradly.... Condos castles etched in accretions dye along The boardwalks flower made sorbitol scenes Number twenty-twos scented sunrises, pastel piers Neon lights enticing dreamscopes of, breathe.... The box-cars mundane roulette wheels Spinning mirages of polyesters white gloved, hopes Let it ride; everything I own upon, number twelve Moonglow glazed margarita rainbows for, you and I Cinderella, she folds.... "Games," lots and lots of, games!? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {...."Monopoly"....}

"Monopoly", master game..mimics real life, plays with your dreams, builds you up to frenzy delight, only to leave you broke, no cash! ..it gets boring afte a while. But fun game for a time. Love to you John, Audrey

When we were kids, we used to call this game "Monotony," but your description of it is so creative, John! I love that line "Moonglow glazed margarita rainbows..." On snow holidays we would spend hours playing this game and nobody ever won. Maybe the same can be said of lives -- when we play games, we usually lose. Great work, John! Love, Carolyn

The Monopoly game is one that never seems to end, at least it didn't at our house when I was growing up. But you make the game sound like the journey of life. Very nice, John!
