this is a song of hope

Symptoms
    Of Cultural
       Suicide
          In The
             Headlines

             the sound
          of trees falling
       is always louder
    than the sound
of grass growing

How awesome of a post is that?? Did you make up that last part? I really think it's cool. And the texture, too.

It reminds me of a poem about rocking horses or something- a feminist poem, but really good.

it's technically all mine, but was somewhat inspired by a line from a live recording by led zeppelin, which i used for the title. perhaps it's a contrast between "highway to hell" and "stariway to heaven"?
