Listen to poem:
Pretendia
Pretendia
David J Walker
Whatever forever
means to you
It means to me too
The two of us on tiptoes
Pirouetting through
the minefields
in Pretendia
the laid away land
with a down payment of sand
on pavement to our
inheritance
bowing to each other
turning to the audience
applauding the ice storms of silence
and
the spring storms of defiance
I have it on good faith that
The architects of Pretendia
Agree only with
Zodiac figurines dominating
Their dreams of
Immortality
