st. peter squared

st. peter squared





and
over here,
right about there,
where the boy with the sucker
is standing.
used to be this enormous
domed building.



back in its day,
millions came and went.
to see the art, 
the consequence
of
a fatal attraction,
that rocked the world.


i think his name was peter
or simon,
he might have even
been a girl.


it's hard to believe
in this day and age,
that spirits
used to be all the rage.
giant monuments
in stone
chock full to the brim;
with
encrypted motto's,
hustled art,
and left over body parts,
hung around like some twisted twilight zone.


yeah,
this used to be a tourist trap,
much like it is today.
the
only difference is:
we won't claim divine intervention,
if you try and roll
these 
stones away!
