African Couple at the Wax Museum

P.S.Zollo posted a photo:

African Couple at the Wax Museum

From Senegal, Africa,
they
were in front of the
Wax Museum on
Hollywood Boulevard, and
looked a little lost
and forlorn, and we fell into
a conversation - and they said
they felt America to be a strange
and unreal place in some ways,
and I explained that they
were in Hollywood, and
that not all of America is like
Hollywood, which is
the capital of the surreal
in many ways - the intersection of
dream and reality -
and here at the wax museum
of all places this is even more so
here in this arcane
temple to movie-stars
mostly of the past
here represented
in life-size wax statues
not unlike Lenin lying in
his tomb still, enshrined,
honored, sanctified.
Instead of Lenin though
we have Marilyn and Chaplin
and Bogie and Darth Vader.
And here, where they are
standing, in the
courtyard,
- there's a life-size
panoply from "The Wizard of
Oz" with the four main characters
plus Toto in wax,
and there is a
Stallone-look-alike who stands
there always
in Rambo-guise,
clutching a faux-machine
gun, and smiling at
and posing with
the ever-flowing stream of
tourists.
