A Place on Earth
December 19, 2023
When simplicity favored the suits
Of hot Florida rays
Not as hot as we have made them
Towering castles
And terrifying thrills
And not yet being tall
I am taller now
And the days grow hotter
In Florida
The mice, capitalistic villains
And I hear foreign tongues
Everyone comes to Florida
Solitude in a room
With 4, maybe 5
Princesses dancing,
Illuminating the dark room
The ice cream did not sit well
In my stomach
And I cried that night
In Mickey’s World of debt

This poem is about my melancholy vacation experience at Disney World. Being there was a surreal experience because it was less whimsical and magical from what I remembered.
