689 commenting. Oddly none before me. This poet keeps the ember alive of cities in the sky.

I am amazed that out of 688 views there are no other comments! I wonder who my fellow viewers are? "Are" is perhaps the wrong question. A better question might be what has happened to youall that you passively consume but do not participate? Have you no opinions, have you no imagination, no dreams? I do. My dream is that there will be cities in the sky.
