there.

 

Nicholas Karavatos

Remake

 

After decades I watched The Stepford Wives from 1975.
Dark childhood in the Miramar Theatre. Like Network
Made me in part what I became.

Remaking our lives with happy endings
In a world of colored lights
Is a doomsday omen
Took like a cookie in a sugar coat of arms.

The high road of the martyrs slopes a bit here –
The DVD from the library was scratched and skipped and stuck.

From the next century
The picture of the future looked different
Far away and remade
From pieces.
