Et in Arcadia

Entryway
“Here you leave
today…”

Beneath the train tracks
the damp floor of the tunnel
littered with popcorn

Pirates
the skull in the captain’s headboard
yellowing

Haunted Mansion
the pale face of Leota Toombs
in the séance room

Tomorrowland
old fashioned
rocket ships

Peter Pan
the crocodile
ticking

Main Street at dusk
all of the crows
crows
