12,298. YOU THINK?

YOU THINK?
Wildflowers and wallflowers
and fake flowers and high towers.
Everything's like a fairytale now.
Days of old when knights were
bold? Wizard of Oz stuff  - the
path with all that flowery stuff
that suddenly turns into color
when Dorothy arrives. Man, that
has to work, somewhere, I guess.
You think? But not here?
-
'Nowadays kids ain't got nothing
to give. All they want to do is take.'
I heard a guy say that, just this
morning, in a gas station line.
