A fairy tale that does unfold
a red carpet,
on which we are actors
trying to live other people's lives.
It is meaning that we are losing
as we try to just survive.
Madness of the medicated,
it's all a violation of
the question, "What is it to be human?"
There is no order
except what's on the menu of the corporate fast-food line.
In stark relief to the snowmen and cozy fires of its eponymous song, Winter Wonderland? is an unflinching look at the implications of modern Western philosophy and mores on our ability—or inability—to live an integrated and meaningful life. This poetic journey also takes in the author's encounters with psychiatry and the systems that drive therapy, and ranges from the depths of despair to freedom from the confines of the mind, and even a consideration of romantic love.
