Postcards from Eden
(i) Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
10 hours Feb 2003
by Chris Adams
“So God sent them out of the Garden of Eden and made them cultivate the soil from which they had been formed.”
Fake Palms
Blue and Green Fluorescents
Oasis in a concrete jungle.
American Flag hanging limply
Between two concrete towers
Like the defeated Sampson
Set to bring the ceiling down.
Increased Security
More Freedom
Only in America
Armed chairs discourage sleep
“Gateway to America”
– Not a place to stop.
