Music Commentary--Creative Writing--Cultural Hilarity





"What if there are no cries of anguish to be heard? Who is prepared to take arms against a sea of amusements? To whom do we complain, and when, and in what tone of voice, when serious discourse dissolves into giggles?"--Neil Postman

Bay Center, WA

* The eighth in a series of travelogue poems



Competing narratives of happiness fight for my heart,

As I sit upon the crags and sands of time,

Looking across the wide, anxious ocean,

Hoping for some revelation from above or resolution from within,

Instead hearing nothing but the sound

Of these vehement waves crashing against an apathetic shore.
