1906 by Keith D AllisonIn movement of time
in the heat of arid winds
thirty walked and live
most knowing the other's name
Today things have changed a bit
few would know four of neighbors named
yet, the heat of arid winds
are still felt in Las Vegas today 08/16/2006 Posted on 08/16/2006 Copyright © 2025 Keith D Allison

Posted by Kyle Anne Kish on 08/19/06 at 04:09 PM Keith a wonderful rendition of 'then and now' in a few short words ... with a large impact. Super! |
Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 08/20/06 at 12:25 PM Worthy combination of past and present Keith, with a certain sadness in how all cities seem to have the problem cited in the second stanza. |
