Idealism

I did not
ask why

I guess
what you
feel is 
irrelevant

 A Don Johnson's 
Miami Vice
wardrobe 
ago
My reaction
to criticism 
would have
been similar 
to a millennial's
one now

A Time Capsule
transcends to
self observation 

Idealism
returns
to its purity

If only
for a moment

when my reflection
is seen in your 
eyes

Where  having
a DeLorean
take you back
to what could
have been

seems
feasible 
and an
October revolution
is a reasonable 
call to action
against "the man"

Crossing the pillars
wading neck deep 
in worries
vanishes desires
to make a difference
it erases illusions
while providing 
realism
as the safe keeper
to survival

Yet the spark 
of hope
can change 
a
nation.  

Both have
their place
