O’ to have lived a hundred and fifty years ago would have been a treat for me…

To have been able to stand at the ocean, and wonder if it really were the end of the world. To have been able to strike out on an adventure at a moments notice, too find something new…

Now, standing in the checkout lane of a Supermarket, I feel as if I’ve been cheated.

The beeps, the hums, the whirrs…

It’s all so contrived.

There’s no depth in today’s society…

Well, sort of.

There’s the appearance of depth,

but no substance.

I guess that’s what I need, some substance.
