1. Coke can be shiny
the gold bottle gleams in the light
old is beautiful
what is spent on the new
might be better spent on the old

2. the Bannister is clean.
the layer of dust gone
the technique questionable
what you don't know can hurt you
if you slip onto your face

3. The benches are old
on them a layer of mold grows
but they still provide,
a wonderful place to sit

4. Some think museums bore
they've never dressed up in one
hoop skirts feel odd
they suction to the floor
when you try to sit

5. The past should be preserved
in some ways more than others
costumes and jewelry
but not scary wax people
like the man in the dinar
