it seems so quiet this independence day even though they advertised crazy uncle sam's fireworks factory stand on the television. the people downtrodden don't feel quite up to celebrating another drone surge or whatever the hell rockets red glare bombs bursting in air. some old dude will still read the declaration of independence in the vista homes garden with bunnies curious onlookers and not many butterflies and bees alas. 

we celebrate our conditional surrender and our relative independence, whatever we can create in the conditions of a perpetual war economy in whatever marginal neglected nature we can muster.

the eternal return of hershey the bear of freedom of the peace.
