A performative poem about what it means to encounter a place so familiar yet so lost in translation.
The appeal of Americana lies in its nostalgic allure. Whether extolling the virtues of the past or projecting a wishful image of the future, Americana is undoubtedly captivating. Like a hologram. A mirage or siren calling for those who are walking on the edge between known and unknown. We live two lives, and all walk a fine line.
