NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS
The radio has a spike to the ground, the old
television is a blasted hole. The outhouse where
the farmer sat is now a community center.
-
We built this town from the bottom up : horses
and oxen and cattle. Many fertile wives later, we
all have sons to do the tasks for us. Life gets better.
-
What law there is is situated now between the post
and the pillar. We have a platform for hangings and
a gallows too - rarely some priest or a missionary.
-
Shouldering all we must - every burden - the world
gets itself lighter with our own age. Too soon, too
soon it is over, and there is nothing left at all.
