20,000,000
The Pentagon says the nation can prevail with a loss of 20,000,000 lives; constitution, flag prevailing after a loss of 20,000,000 lives. I asked some friends, "But what would that be, 20,000,000 lives" - New York, Chicago, Denver, Albuquerque, St. Louis and Yarmoth, Maine? Georgiana looked up; Georgiana looked straight into my eyes; "California," she said. "That's California."
Do not think of that curved length of coast,
Forget what humans have built in a place called
Think only of the teenaged clerk in the
20,000,000?
