the chains of earth are loosed the seal of heavens broken incessant beep where once was silence the birth of a race age of wonder age of fear [This message has been edited by Aenimal (10-04-2003 04:54 AM).] |

"incessant beep where once was silence" I find that thought so bizarre. Just this 'beep' echoing through space... Very cool write Raph!  |

Thank you for reading everyone, yes sputnik is the correct answer. The little satellite that launched the space race also as heightened cold war hysteria and the arms race |

Ah Yes... I remeber the nuclear tuck spawned by this little 'lite. Wrap your arms around your knees, Place your head between your knees, and kiss your butt goodbye, is what they used to tell us. Good recall and good poem. Sherry |
