before all of this

was it better

in 1960, before Kennedy

was shot?

was it better

before the riots, before

the war,

before

the world was turned

on its head.

before the moon walk?

i think so.

but there are fewer

and fewer

left of us

to remember those good

times.

the unlocked doors,

the long

walk at night through

the majestic

park.
