the hollywood theatre

(26 june 2009)

unique facade captures eyes
within the city's bustle
old-time feel
in the midst of progress
slanting floors
curtained walls
seats upholstered in 26
echoing when the movies pause
of times and tears long past
a different age
life booming
cities growing
while today people hurry by
ignoring the smile
a hopeful yesterday
in the gloom of tomorrow

  1. oh i like this....especially the last line---makes me think of a sad old man who dreamed of automobiles and now just got hit by one as he stopped to admire it!
