The importance of being on Twitter.

Naming the color of the sky
at just this hour, gray or lilac or rose,
& turns to nothing special in an hour:
"Exodus theme" by Edith Piaf. Frore
only by contrast, walk from fence to alley.
The war's not lost; this loss is still so early.
Our plight which we could not imagine, gets
exacting more as day by day it blurts
impossible news; borne on our crystal ship
Atlantean sails have filled with outward thrust
irresistible & winedark
naming the color of the sky.

Art Deco Egyptian Revival.

When all reality has become surreal, remembering when it wasn't surreal will still be surreal.
