The sea crept relentlessly forward and enveloped the land.
New York became a row of concrete fingers
sticking above the waves, gesturing obscenely,
London a few steeples peering above the water
in final gasps as history sank,
And Hong Kong disappeared
leaving the battling mainland to take care of itself..
Music played in the watery depth
as dogs and cats fought for breath
and paris deluged by the seine
got newly battered by storm and rain
and no one visited it again
no one visited it again
No one visited the Mona Lisa
No one remembered her smile
under the river water,
her smile more sarcastic as the tides
tickled her chin
and her mouth opened wide to let the water in.
