Lahaina

[TranquillityBase]

Lahaina

first was Hollywood--
us, not them, on the moon

next we airbrushed
our divas and Redfords 
like they'd never get acne or age

photoshopping changed everything--
a month in the gym with the click of a mouse

best Pacino impression I ever saw
turned out to be a deepfake 

AI is a snowball
and we've packed its center 
with solid ice

for the love of God, 
tell me the truth 
before it's tossed at me unsuspecting:

Did I dream I am?

Did I dream I am?

Did I dream I was?

Love the poem, but the connection to Lahaina escapes me.
