ketsana

[26IX09]

above a floating funeral procession of stranded cars,
flesh and blood gargoyles shiver on roofs

the moans of their starving stomachs
are drowned by the rain

and they wonder if they die tonight
while waiting for dawn

white lab coats vs. pink leotards and tights

Scientific hegemony and the death of art

It's right around college application time that dreams of becoming artists or ballerinas are traded in for more practical pursuits like science and engineering. It cannot be denied that society and the current educational system lead children into thinking that they will earn more in white lab coats than in pink leotards and tights.

//an old intro that stayed an intro. i was going through my files looking for another unused hook and found this. i think it's rather inaccurate since the dream is traded in much, much earlier.
