Time capsule

The smell of rain on scorching pavement
Bright shimmering whirr of hummingbirds
Sipping from carmine sugar droppers
By the pool

Russet shelled cicada killers
On the hunt for plump verdant prey
Shrill under burning Texas sun
At the mall

John Fitzgerald Kennedy a diet coke
in his jacket pocket, laughs with Jackie O
Who is strangely muscular up close on the
grassy knoll

Another film crew on the plaza
Every frame accurately mirrored.
In the school book depository
The Director calls 'shoot'
