TIMEOUT FOR PROGRESSIVES

by George Salamon


T***p May skeletons dance at 2017 BRIT awards.





A poem without a view,
No endless outrage, no
Social conflicts or
Racial clashes.
A poem to be seen, but
Not to be heard.
We sang and danced
In the Tavern of
Once Upon a Time.
Those were the days,
But they did end.
What are the great things
We're dreaming of today?


George Salamon lives and writes and dreams occasionally in St. Louis, MO.
