Tall thin women

by Michael Plesset

Tall thin women bending in the wind
waves of water anxiously
push the boundaries of good
taste, like people in black
and white movies, flat but
brilliant, smarter than people
now. See the blazing fireplace
in the living room warm and
comfortable and romantic all
of which are gone now people
were better then. Seize the
opportunity to go back whenever
you can before it’s too late,
without the movies and books
and a few people with the memories
we wouldn’t know about
those times.
Some people think the earth is
getting warmer but it’s not
people are getting colder so it
seems that way.
