Disneyland Facades
Ronald Tirino 1962 (NYC)
Disney land facades
octane optimism behind the
parody of smiling faces
imprinted on the human mind
In the cult of consumer condemnation
ubiquitous facades of branding
to a language of their own
Air conditioned nightmares
of the empty soul
become widgets of a plastic kind
Cubical conveyor belts
In hypnotic droning hum the people come
glued to their TV screens I pads and phones
distracted from realities which must be faced
Logistical standards downsized to the bottom line
cogs in wheels on a global scale
of mass production commodified to a
status quo acceptance
In parades of the day
that which becomes
cliches behind the empty screen
