Disney
is a jerk-off fantasy
of mice and ducks,
clownfish and corporate
wish-upon-a-star peddlers
Dad and I stand
in a long, cordoned-off line
with 100's of strangers
waiting to view the future
and in the intimacy
of quiet patience
I think of the humanity
assembled here
kids with moist, gleaming eyes
teens chattering on cell phones
adults and seniors having seen
much grander things than this
still, drawn to this city of distraction
and somehow the light
of the blue heart of God shines here,
as much as in the Ukraine or Syria,
in the early evening
as the sun goes down
and the future,
smacking of insane technology
and hopefully, marked by
a return to our source,
seems to me
more like Now
than ever before
