Be careful not to bang your head on the brick wall too much, Tristan!

This is rich and complex, Tristan. Seems your piece has thrown up many different feelings in the debate here - including some of mine. Can’t help but agree with the general tenor of your depiction of the movement change over several generations. Can’t help but agree with the overall ‘progress’. The only point I feel impelled to make is that categorized generalisations are dangerous if they extend themselves beyond poetic limits. The Boomers (and I’m not one) were as much subjected to political control as any other generation. Some (perhaps almost the majority) fell into line (including going to war) but many did not.
But I think I can agree on the main point: it all seems to be going down the gurgler now.
Take care of yourself.

Somehow brought me back to thoughts of the Vietnam War and all other such sociopolitical upheavals that twisted and defined generations. I lost my cousin and best friend during the Gulf War in which he did 2 tours. I’m sure the poems apply to several other things but that stood out to me for some reason.

We need a handbrake on life, then a reverse gear and then we might be going in the right direction. Another enjoyable read Tristan, thank you

Dance until you drop dead taken literally! On one hand Death is terrifying, but I\'ve heard he likes to flirt.

Wow I need a torch. There’s alot of darkness in this poem Tristan. Pleased to say I know the sun’s warmth and try my best to steer towards the light. A great read though:) Excellent poetry.

Fabulous shape poetry. So very clever and well done to all those prompts Tristan. As I have my own fears I don’t think I’m gonna be tempted to share yours as well😂. That is some journey to contemplate.

Doh! Now I reply: good write, putrid cloud of gas. heehee. Oh, I don\'t fancy a key that opens such a door.
But to be gloomy - \'Oh cheer up,\' I said to someone: \'When one door opens, another one slams in your face!\' I\'m a barrel of laughs. lol.

Now that\'s a wow! I guess we all have to fill in the hollowness of existence to make it all worthwhile- a challenge to reflect on the deeper truths of existence and our own place in the world. What an intense and evocative poem!

The only truth we know is what someone has told is the truth, so it is not our truth and the truth we all search for deep down, will never really be found. I really enjoyed the read, Thank you Tristan
