I do. I’ve read several great poems you’ve written a long time ago. :)
Incidentally, Blade Runner is one of my all-time favorite films. Referenced that scene in The new interface sucks thread. Found it fitting, in a way.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe…
Users on fire off the shoulder of Unread…
I watched Old School Fools glitter in the dark near the Everything Gate.
All these posts will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”
This was before TMF crossed a red line and took away all that ever where. Now it’s like, well, what you just wrote.
Really impressive recall! Here’s the early 20’s Dreamer version:
Poem: "An Ancient Place and Time (2000-06-13)"
An Ancient Place and Time
In the cresent of the valley
Near the city by the bay
Clear water here runs freely
Down the streams across the way
The people gather early
Many great tales here are spun
Conversation is a pleasure
Inspired visions of the tongue
Neighbors never quarrel
No needless blood is spilled
Jealously strangely absent
Of love and humor hearts are filled
Money is unavailable
Labor your sole currency
Shiny, fast cars are unneeded
No paved roads cut through these trees
In the distance loom great mountains
A Rembrandt painting yet undone
Protector of great cities
And of people of the Sun
Law and order of new species
Men of character lead here
Crime is countered with prevention
Only Wisdom perserveres
Families here are loving
No neglect of little ones
The daughters sing like angels
Ever fearless roam the sons
Evening sun now setting
Soft music melodies begin
Guitar, horn or piano
Drowning sweetly you give in
Near the fire dancing
A precious beauty framed in light
Your desires burning brightly
Submerged in passion is the night
Thus is the legend of the valley
People of an ancient place and time
Despair not, you may still join them
If you change your state of mind
