| Message | When you are young, you always expect that the world is going to end. And then yu get older and the world still chugs along and you are forced to re-evaluate your stance on the apocalypse as well as your own relationshop to time and death. You realize that the world will indeed continue, with or without you, and the pictures you see in your head. So you try to understand the pictures instead.
What do you think? It’s from Life after God by Douglas Coupland. . . |

A stringed instrument, my soul, Sang, imperceptibly moved, A gondola song by stealth, Gleaming for gaudy blessedness. -Hearkened any thereto? |

| Message | i appreciate whats trying to be said but theres little strength in the way its dealt with. "chugs along", "relationship to time and death", it doesn’t sound too well thought through. the imagery has not consistancy which doesn’t suggest very complex a message being given and i find that kind of thing tedious read... |
