COSTA SKI-DUBAI... (My poem about watching folks enjoy snow in Dubai from a Costa window, 2007...)

 Costa Ski-Dubai…

(From a visit in 2007…)



Marbled mall,

Meticulously clean,

Linking stores

And window displays.

A myriad of colour,

A milking of wealth,

A mocking of poverty,

A marginalising of labour,

Whatever its cause.


Costa window,

Strengthened glass,

Looking down

On alpine displays.

A marvel of technology,

A might of engineering,

A misplacement of skis,

A misrepresentation of desert:

The Piste, Dubai Downtown…


Pete Ray…


Dubai’s ski-slopes & REAL snow, -21 degrees overnight, -1 degree during opening hours. 


View from Costa.
