StoryLand

Walking into StoryLand I can't help but think
of the apocalypse,
some future near or distant
when we have destroyed ourselves
be the cause nuclear or climate.

Ragged survivors stumbling upon the jagged ruins of this
day-glow fiberglass memorial
to forgotten Fairy Tales,
they'll shelter here and perhaps a cult will form
In worship of the Whale and the Wooden Boy-

A false society built on walking pigs
wolves in night dresses
and an overlarge blond girl
in a tiny house,
scavengers capering in the graveyard of 20th century children stories.
