The Wild Place

Thoughts on America

By Richard GwynnPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

America; equal to every song, every movie.

It has more beauty and poverty and wilderness and danger and food and drink and refills and Mormons and God and gods and rocks and cars and road and road and road and buffalo and bears and and wolves and blood and blood's alchemy and drugs and schizophrenia and McDonald's and Wendy's and Buffalo Wild Wings and unspeakable prehistoric vistas and mountains and sky between mountains like incipient art and customer service and coyote music and radio nonsense and silence and sunsets and cool blue light from fat and membranous moons in hazy valleys and vastness and freedom and emptiness and waste and wealth and many other things.

America. It has more of these things; but home's gentle comforts it has not.
