rising...

 

Imagine Miami under the sea
causeways for fish beneath tides
the pastel beachfront luxury
covered in deep blue and surf

In  sun storms and humidity we
Imagine Miami; under the sea
where fresh reefs begin, on bistros
salsa beats gone distant and dim

they studied melting ices rising tides
rebels raised the hue and cry,
"Imagine Miami under..."; the sea,
its signs observed, land dis-served.


By idiocy that no one will remember 
we did not create walled insularity
a home, at home with rising water;
Imagine, Miami...under the sea
