Hard Truths

What happened to the girl who studied
at the intersection of science and religion,
who dreamed of building mass transit
highways and byways, who lusted
after gorgeous signage and the heady
mysticism of the scientific revolution?

I cannot seem to find her –
I doubt she could forgive
how swiftly her principles
gave way to a fear of
unemployment and the demands
of Sallie Mae.
