Dear Friends in Christ -
I read a fascinating and irreverent book of poetry today: "To Be Read in 500 Years" by Albert Goldbarth. I wouldn't broadly recommend it. Parts of it are graphic (rated R at least), though none of it seemed gratuitous; Goldbarth a very talented poet.
There were a several poems that really struck me, that sang out siren songs of the elements and our human condition. One of the things that Goldbarth does so subtly and well in his poetry is to call the reader to consider what we might be missing if things were different. Here's a little poem that caused me to see in a new light just one (positive?) change in the world.
Faithfully,

IN A WIRELESS WORLD
what of the chord
the wind plays
over the highway?
