1.)
In our newsroom, we
vote down the universe; we
thwart its regional center; we
arrive with a helicopter to
thwart its regional center; we
get control<\/p>\n
we
call websites<\/p>\n
we
really want to get
disconnected by a cable<\/p>\n
2.)
the feds let it roll
between the family and the friends
disapproval\/procreation
global warming and taxidermy
zero and the sun<\/p>\n
By now you have heard me say it even blunt:
we all have to keep our heads<\/p>\n
(the visitors do the hard work,
let their brains go)<\/p>\n
3.)
You know, we found one
a cloudless sky<\/p>\n
a historic moment<\/p>\n
a lake
a snowmobile
a Peep show<\/p>\n
a volatile little peep show
a cocky $17 million diorama
of mental and spiritual calm
And when it was opened,
I discovered what could only be considered
people
jumping naked into Vignettes
of Hope and control<\/p>\n\n\n
