a Centaur and its Lady

The sounds of melody long have gone.
Gold lockets, tight disordered tight-pants. The sound of money.

Built above it a society unaware of color, of dirt.
This story doesn't contain any real people, only what people really are. The sound of the singer with golden locks and tight faded red pant.

Instead,                I close my eyes &                remember mom,      twirling in her long denim-blue dress              on our porch                             under the rain.
