Hundred Dollar Plates

i live in the united states of america. 

i'd like to think i live in a small republic called Cascadia.

i actually don't know the literal interpretation of republic. 

anyway.. i like the idea of a group of folk gathered under the ideals of living in harmony and protecting the forest and rivers. 

but i do not. i live in the united states of america.

run by a corporate machine.

not the liberty of which she sings.

there's crazy drought in the western united states.

the east coast is getting dumped on with rain. and snow. 

::there is no such thing as global warming::

and now i've lost my attention span. 

pay attention.

take time to wander. 

take time to pander.

be free...
