The contest is closed and the results are
posted. And I was just building up steam:
Quote:
In Meadowlands the master plan
went downhill faster than a ski
that down its indoor ski-hill ran
inside the turquoise, green, and tan
ugly monstrosity.
Another billion bucks was found
to make the dream come true and sound
American, yet those Mongolian hills
where Kubla Khan had housed his dynasty
saw Xanadu burned down, and nothing fills
the hollow of its empty destiny.
And oh! the way the broken roof is canted
would make you think this project’s days are over,
that roofers can’t repair the disenchanted
or patch a reputation that’s been tainted;
white elephants stay white — they don’t recover.

Anyway, it was fun to play with. Thanks, Maryann.
