Post Idealist Metaphor

People learned a lot

Last weekend
People learned a lot
On the previous day
People learned a lot
In the parking area
Where the cars never stop
People learned a lot
As the lessons of immortality
Whizzed past their heads
People learned a lot
When they finally stopped
The post idealistic metaphor
Running and ruining
Their fatalistic dinner parties

It was a lot to take in
I must admit, but
People learned a lot
In those days
Squeezed between other
Ordinary days
When generations were not
Clearly demarked
People learned a lot
