No one is gonna save us
If we don't save ourselves
Our politics an Abyss
Our religions need more Elves

Democracy might be a mistake
Where are the Philosopher Kings?
Lady of the Lake
Cathedrals. Ancient Things

But we live in our present age
Gas stations. Internet ****.
The old order dying
What might be reborn?

American. All too American.
But at my best I do resist
Unwell very often
But the poetry persists

I remember Tokyo
Taipei and Gamla Stan
3 dear deer
1 dear fawn
