the end of the great pretend


what will go by the wayside when the end of the great pretend presents itself with hunger
what will become of trucker caps-key chains-tight jeans-soft hands-rough hair-acres of keds-fix bikes-what will become of art school?
What will become of-bumper sticker toting volvos-navel gazing whole foodies with an egg shell satisfaction of farmers market austerity and sanctimonious would have done it different had I not been finishing that remodel-
What will become of south east Asia- More importantly, how will the kids "really see the world" without it?
What will become of all that volunteer work when it no longer gets you to the front of the professional school line
What will become of professional schools when brain drain starts here and there is one doctor per gazillion.
Who will we be at the end of the great pretend?
I know I know I know a new theater will open, one always does. Some sort of earnest humorlessness probably.
Something must lie between pith helmets and unspeakable worse
