[hometext] => Comments appreciated.
[bodytext] => When the traffic creaks to a self-satisfying halt and sighs gently... When the hands of the clocks spin so quickly that they disappear in a blur of arcing flame... When light and sound become relative - you no longer recognize the forms of fleshy clouds and lithe streetlamps... When you dream and conspire When you bathe in the fire When you thrive on revolution When you live for restitution When you ache for the friction When you weave tales of fiction When the bullet you bite transforms into an artillery shell... When the picket lines of imaginary wars twist in double helixes and pyramids... When the sun secretes a venomous mirage of entrapment... When you lie and suppress When you bleed and you bless When finesse and success are too scant to impress I'm pressed to confess my utmost distress Where is the progress?
