On the ‘Runaway American Dream’ [a prognosis on the (alleged) ‘Noblest’ experiment] Here stand we...self-righteous fools.... at this our twilight hour cursing a dying sun at midnight or pleading with our sacred shadows for yet another day...another ‘way’.... already lost...to rain or tears.... in vain pursuit of an ageless face in an faceless age of naked ‘realists’ and other madmen!. Oh look how far we have come.... To NOTHING! Be not so quick...my lovely ‘friend’.... to laugh and dance and spit upon the fallen petals of summer’s final rose on the nameless graves which stilled the last ‘Romantic’ heart.... and all who spoke with the ‘Voice’ of solitude’s serenity in wilderness.... for therein may lie...the final ‘chance’! |

"Oh look how far we have come to NOTHING" and society is becoming a garish, ugly nothing with only nature to console us. Those of us who care. One of your besy, Poet. Ida |
