my wordsThem and Us

Inspired by something (quite possibly simply the light on the fields of oilseed) as I drove in the countryside near my home, I drove home as quickly as I could and wrote this. It languished unpublished for a week until eventually I decided that since I hadn't deleted it, it deserved to be published.

Them and Us — May 4, 2005
