After Ezra Pound

The original:

In a Station of the Metro

The apparition of these faces in the crowd:

Petals on a wet, black bough.

----------------------------------------

Mine:

In any Time of the Day

The apparition of these faces in the scene:

Boxes on a small, black screen. 

In a Park of the City

The apparition of these faces in the sun:

Nerf darts from a bright, toy gun. 

In a Home of the Family

The apparition of these faces in the room:

Statues, on a shelf of gloom.

In a Workplace of the Many

The apparition of these faces in the office:

Phone call voices seek solace.

In a Terminal of the Airport

The apparition of reflections in the haze:

Shadows on a cold, fading glaze.
