Re: Nautikos
Ahh, teleportation might have been a better thought, but one does tend to let the mind wander when stuck in L.A.-style traffic. I do have an affinity for motorized vehicles though. And, I have enough trouble riding in a car without griping, much less an oxcart or stagecoach... LOL. Naw, the secondary contrast was watching the seas; both the sea of water and the sea of tail lights, against the vision of a nuclear power plant that was not yet decommissioned, as it was living on the Pacific, so reminiscent of Fukushima Daiichi. It had always puzzled me as to why the San Onofre Plant was ever built there. Of course, had it been built elsewhere, it wouldn't have been the San Onofre Plant, but... LOL.

A poem of disconcerting contrast - but we may as well accept what we can't change. There isn't enough land for 320 million people to return to tilling the soil, riding horses and driving oxcarts...

Re: Kabu
Thank you very much. I hope we humans do get it right in the long run. What an honor for you to say that about this poem! I am humbled.

Great imagery and the sentiment is summed up universally,

what a wonderful way you have described the chaos of so many places today. Part breathtaking beauty, part unresolvable mess. We humans havn't been able to get it right and poems like this help to remind us. This should be published wider than Blogit.
