That is oil on the wings of the dragonfly.
Gulf breezes blow in like they always have. And the ghosts of Faulkner and Walker Percy and Thomas Wolfe just weep.
Beyond blame and politics and really bad ideas.
The dragonfly can’t move. Stuck in the oil.
John Denver comes back to sing: “And the song that I am singing is a prayer for non-believers. Come and stand beside us. We can find a better way.”
