"Recipe for Disillusionment"

Take, for instance, a place where you used to live,

a castle on a cloud, when life was good and

you wrote your name in wet cement. Then

move away for three years to a cold valley

so you can watch your life disintegrate

and you blame it on being stuck down in that valley

when really it's just adolescence, that all-too-

common beast. You look back, of course, to that

white castle, all the more beautiful for its

lack of reality and the varnish of your selective

memory, and you think to yourself that

maybe the cement hasn't quite dried yet.
