Luxury Condo Miami Lifestyle
Ever since 1996
I have seen
a city grow
Like grass in the rain.
High-rises jut up into
The sky
Sleek
Modern
Looming
Over the poorer
Inhabitants like
Goliaths
Right next to them
But unreachable.
Money flows
Like
Waterfalls
And giant
Billboards
Advertise
An ultra posh
Lifestyle of
Super hot
Females
Lazily
Lounging in
Bikinis,
Six pack
abbed
Males walking
Like some
Gigolo
With
Infinity pools
Gleaming
As the words
Promise
Spas
Valet services
Gourmet restaurants,
Marinas with Yachts,
With the only
Thing missing
Is coke lines
On the tables and
A rolled
Twenty dollar bill.
I look at all this
And I see
“priced in the
Low 400s”
As in hundreds of
Thousands
Out of most persons
Price range.
It all seems like
Such a tease for
Most,
a new angle
on the
theory of
the leisure class,
a sexy elite,
staring down at
the rest of us
through their
hurricane
fortified windows,
ocean views,
and dial a
maid
mentality.
But many of these
Edifices
Are actually
Empty,
Financial
Pyramids from
A real estate
Gold rush
And worried
Speculators
Flooding the
Market with
“For Sale ”
Signs.
It is all
A fin de siecle
Phantasmagoria.
A
Sunny
Neon
Tropical
Trance,
Radiant
Blue
Waters
Swimming
With
Sharks.
