Rosebud

inspired by Citizen Kane

Snapshot

Of the swings

To which

Countless hands

Still cling

In the shadows

Of the days

That still sing.

 

Would you care

Care a swing?

 

Or would you rather

Forget the old days

For the replace

Of

Ka-ching

In your pocket

As the king?

 

Burn the snapshot of the swings?

 

Have you ever smelled

Charcoaled swing?

 

Wouldn’t you rather

Just cling along?

 

Snapshot

Of the swings

To which

Countless hands

Still cling

In the shadows

Of the days

That still sing.

 

Would you care

Care a swing?
