on a Sunday morning
it is beginning to feel like fall
the crows are outside circling around
.. floating in a field
of floating electricity
little transmitters of gold
on her shoes
thinking about lighthouses
and telephone poles in the woods
seeing the sounds of
things unseen and wondering about
the things we dream about
at 4am
also .. if you get a chance ..
I recommend watching
The Dust Bowl on PBS .
During the 1930s, the Great Plains of the United States underwent
a quick transformation to create a vast farmland to help feed the country.
Despite the efficiency of the new methods used, poor planning
turned the prairies into a wasteland, with Mother Nature leading
the revolt against the land's inhabitants with an arsenal of massive dust storms
and severe drought. A documentary showcasing the events that took place
during the dreadful era, while also providing an example of what can happen
if we aren't smart about how we pull precious resources from our planet.
