KOLKOREover 16 years agoAuthorThank you much for commenting -on any level you chose. This is VERY risqué’ for me (emotionally) and VERY different than writing comments to others! Believe you me!
Here is the thing: I was trying (not too successfully) to portray something which will show nakedly and critically, almost as a grotesque, a portrait of different aspects of the life in the USA. The sum up of the physical attributes of what I would paint if I had to draw the face of the nation. It appeared to me as a visual image. None of the above is a good answer to what I see as a fair challenge. How do I portray s.t. which I perceive as somewhat tired haunted and depressed as I see the face of the nation in a way which would not come across as boring? It was not boring to me when I was writing it but that’s not enough (to me).

darkerdreamerover 16 years ago"Crimson pendulous ears" and "Aching feet in pampered boots", especially the latter, five simple words sum up our increasingly comfortable (or at least convenient) lives, and the further wear they put on us. Great contrast, also rolls off the tongue surprisingly well.
