In the footsteps of the walking air

Let us have madness openly.
O men Of my generation.
Let us follow
The footsteps of this slaughtered age:
See it trail across Time's dim land
Into the closed house of eternity
With the noise that dying has,
With the face that dead things wear--
nor ever say
We wanted more; we looked to find
An open door, an utter deed of love,
Transforming day's evil darkness;
but We found extended hell and fog Upon the earth,
and within the head
A rotting bog of lean huge graves.

We bought a fun new shower curtain from Target. Our old fabric curtain was literally eaten away by some evil fungus. Our new shower curtain is a map of the world (sans Antarctica and the Arctic). Learn geography while soaping and scrubbing - it promises to be a hoot!
