Living. Dying. br everyone has lived before, br here and there; br everyone dies, now and then. br - look at all the maps of mankind br run amuk with dots of red, blue and black - br roads, towns, cities and hamlets, br People everywhere; villages without voices; br mountains miles apart br or side by side, br rivers, creeks and streams br flowing in all directions, br lakes and oceans br fields and woods br full of People, living, br or dead. br - why are there no br population signs at the gates to a cemetary? br do they fill too fast? br - life is not this; br and not that; br ditto the dying. br so I look at maps, br with all those impressive symbols br of mankinds great progression. br Not forward. br Not backward. br simply moving, br as the living do... br and the dying wish for br more of.
