In the wake of Conrad.
The Golden Age
Is neither fore
Nor aft.
To get there
Requires neither skill
Nor craft.
The Golden Age
Is beyond space and time
But can be found
In the space of your mind
Unoccupied
By will
Be or was.
Only then does
The Golden Age
Arrive.
So, pull in your oars
And stop your row.
For the Golden Age
Is the here and now.
