A Scene From Yesteryear
In this slice of American history, relaxation — and sturdy confidence — run as themes throughout.
Epitome of cool affluence,
A royal beagle oozes the calm of an awakened being.
The machine?
Voluptuous (almost-carnal) red —
Code for feminine heat and elegance.
An illustrious era has gone by and is lost.
U.S. flags at times rotate ninety degrees now,
Are used to bludgeon and subdue.
[ Photographed at the turn of the 21st century in Mid-South America.]
