The Age of Anxiety Revised

                “The future is uncertain and the end is always near” — Jim Morrison

Throw the golden key into a lake. Theories fall apart in a blink. It is time to make amends for sybarites have no regrets. When the meltdown comes round masses will flock to porn houses, leave reality TV in a wastebasket. Depression wears a smiley face. Nostradamus predicted it. Build outdoor decks. Disregard infrastructure. Get busy. Be industrious. Go fishing. Harvest excrement in a fish bowl.

Oxygen toxic with naysayers. A European Prime Minister plays the lyre & croons his love ballads while denizens of EUR siesta themselves into a frenzy. Pray worship sing the blues smash a tambourine. The panacea will soon arrive in the guise of a fresh amaryllis. Meanwhile, the golden key resurfaces from the bottom of the lake. With key in hand unlock the primordial gate that leads to the 21st century’s Holy Grail — a halved coconut imported tax-free from Viti Levu.

Holy fruit of the earth’s flesh. Holy dung.


In Memory of John Keats
