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
