Across
the Pond
London
lights
flash
neon blue
emblazoned
with the phoenix
in
Piccadilly Circus
where
energy is manic
and
creativity burns
straight
through the heart
of
a city without fog…
if
only for one night
Every
language
becomes
crystal clear
in
a melting pot
where
mussels are served
with
fish and chips
and
wine
and
wine
and
wine
that
flows
along
the River Thames
with
accents from regions
both
near and far…
if
only for one night
Voices
from the crowd
surface
upon the stage
of
The Poetry Café
where
society converges
around
the comforting caress
of
art that slips
carefully
off
the
tips of tongues
teasing
the promise
of
renaissance
in
a culture renewed…
if
only for one night
