OLD SACRAMENTO
Old Sacramento
Older Buildings: new kids there
Order Ice Cream Shakes
There: History Is
No one sees it quite alive
Looks dead, in person
Cobblestones racket
Uneven and stone, so hard
Tires rattle, too
The Delta Queen sits
In River Bottom silt, mud -
No where left to go
Trash is Fun to buy -
Breaks right away, but who cares
Old is Old, not New
History - hers, too
Military Museum Dust
Honor Bright and True
Railroad Cars, Engines -
This is Wonderful and Huge:
Dining Cars are Best
Wooden sidewalks clack -
All are raised - travel is slow
Down the street: click, clack
Horse-drawn white buggy
Up and down and up and down
Old Streets in these times
Historic Plaques shine -
Brass and Fine Words tell Stories
Some of Us can hear
Old Sacramento...
No Antique Stores anymore
Fake Old Photo Shoots....
Leaving off the Bridge -
Huge New Buildings - Pyramids!
Back to mountains now....
