Nina thinks the 70’s
Were the 19th Century

Dirt roads
No running water
Windowless houses

Yes, of course,
The women wore bustles
Men rode horses
And no one knew how to fly

Each generation in truth
Must have its fantasy
And learn all over what it is to die

daily.

sighing

I do love your poetry. (Sometimes I wish you'd quote yourself, but? shrug...that would be your perogative.)

Enjoyed (but oh the woman part of me wants to know...who's Nina? )
