Re: [Culture] GATE TO MOONBASE ALPHA at the rotunda

July 20, 1969 (Central Park) The police have taken to guarding     The high rocky places in the park Nightly explosions in the subway Have left a taste of a coal miner's      smoking fears    The sky is a dirty red fog; The night drips over those trudging      through wet grass        To celebrate    Where monster spotlights      Strain and scream at the moon      A studied intoxication      A calculated stupor working itself        toward climx; Vague gypsies, traces of witches,      Noisy lunatics are quarreling        over      a lovely corpse in the mud   Little sister, they've landed men on the        moon--    What obscene dance shall we make To celebrate this rape?   --Amos Stoltzfus     Ross Bender http://rossbender.org
