UTOPIA TRANSIT Together in 1967 a band of U.S. Americans, bravely dreaming of Earthly heaven, grew gardens, cows, fruit trees and chickens away from greed and male supremacy and agreed to build a better commune, easing their burden of fiscal poverty by equally sharing all labor, income, resources and most of their property, but yearning, researching and soon finding the industrial path to real prosperity by milling and drilling, spinning and winding and weaving with upwardly mobile dexterity, half forgetting, avoiding and never-minding the drift from mutual care to sly temerity, then the Kat came back after corporate hire to falsify sharing as "equality over time" for a commune of stock market buyers. Now ten year's seniority is wined and dined so that insidious clique of wonderful liars with their deceptively humble superiority may charm the faithful to follow behind.
