B is for Lashlee Street

Sleep comes easy to the gods of lashlee street

This thing that swishes against each cheek
Like layers of red wine
They work at everything.
Because perfection is not in themselves but what they do…
Thanatos understood and left them…
Till they were ready for bed

"saving" in the sense of helping-them-expand-their-mental-space-just-a-smidgen-more kind of saving. she believed this exercise was futile and proclaimed that instead of trying to save this "dead-out" (my term not hers) generation, she was going to have kids. a means of passing on valuable information about culture and forward thinking and such. i laughed of course but she had a real point. i too have felt that this current landscape is all... dead-out, but never really saw procreation as a means of rebooting the system if...
