I wrote last year that "The future is Dubai". But now the future has changed its stripes - and Dubai is in free fall Can't say I'm sorry.
The future is Dubai.
Dr. Who tipped me off.
They cylindrical space station
Circling the earth
Its occupants watching
While Earth
Explodes.
Marianne’s grandson
Has always lived in a high rise.
His friend moved to a house.
“What do you mean
There’s no elevator.
How do you
get out?”
The millionaire in Mumbai
Building a sixty story high palace
For himself, his family
And his
six hundred staff.
The Dubai theme park
The world recreated in miniature.
You can buy
For a very large sum
A small piece of one of the continents
Or you can look down on the whole
From one of the multistory
Luxury
Hotels.
Water – we make our own
Floods – we are high in the sky
Air – pollution be damned, ours is clean.
The rest of you out there?
Too bad.
