"I seemed to have sensed also from an early age that some of my experiences as a reader would change me more as a person than would many an event in the world where I sat and read. "

"Then returned to continue the war." I remember the optimism of the the space program in 1969, '70, '71, '72 balanced with the realization of needing to register for the draft in a few years, 3-months into my senior year (1971/72) of high school. Wasn't called up through the lottery that year nor subsequent years, nor did I enlist, but many were/did. Alex's poem seems a bit disjointed in spots, but so were the times... enjoyed

Internet issues yesterday, as they were substituting the cables in my street.
re1969: I also remember the optimism of those years. But I think you were lucky for not having to enlist. You probably would have been a very different man today, if you did.
Majestic poem! Sadly I have never been to the Pampas, but the torrid heath goes on here too. It´s now May and temperatures are still soaring about 30°.
