Return to Top
Dinosaurs
on our way to a concert
you put in a CD—
the film scores of John Williams,
your favorite composer.
the Jurassic Park soundtrack
played over the speakers
as we drove through
a construction site.
suddenly,
all around us were
industrial behemoths
raising and lowering their
arched necks
taking bites of the earth.
tree-top cherry pickers
made of steel.
we were silent,
transported
millions of years back in time.
