The Lost Generation

"You are all a lost generation." -Gertrude Stein

Upon My Birthday Eve

Total solar eclipse

And a new moon

In Cancer

The first year

Of my home on 69th street

Absence of light only sheds clarity

The Moon child sees best

In the dark

It has always been that way.

The Way We Were

The All American Smile

by Hubbell Gardner (played by Robert Redford)

"In a way he was like the country he lived in; everything came too easily to him. But at least he knew it. About once a month he worried that he was a fraud, but then most everyone he knew was more fraudulent. Sometimes he felt. . . there's really no reason for us to change.  Of course by then they were too lost, or too lazy.  It had always been too easy."

-The Way We Were, 1973
