December 21, 2012 (I was 68)
I remember when Disneyland was fun
a time when you would
notice everyone
who was there and what did
they wear
and where did they want to
go first
I sat on a bench on a porch
on Main Street
as if I were a resident of
the town
Neighbors strolled by whom
I would greet
with a nod or a smile and
they would slow down
to respond before traveling
to another land
And I was there again
yesterday I think
along with everyone and
their kitchen sink
The population explosion
happened right there
much more crowded than ever
in Times Square
To keep people moving took
a squad of Marines
No Little Mermaids just
Tiny Tot sardines
squeezed from no place to
no place to go
Out the gate it finally
felt great to forget
you had been taken
