Architects, Amaze Me! Commanded Ray Bradbury, Heart Full Of Wonders

imagine a museum of roller coasting tales

of wild eyed carousels, the rain stippled horses

of far legend

a museum of winds. of rains:

the pattering, the misunderstood and now redeemed jeweled beadings on old windowpanes, on roofs the color of fire

imagine...

a museum of green rivers and greener trees

and summer dioramas and children brimming over

with field flowers.

even then, is it enough?

in a corner of stained glass radiance

rosier than Chartres

with isinglass rose petals opening

on the day:

a yellow house

is not torn down is not torn down is not

torn down.

is here.

to stay.
