The Dream

Definition of the Park

My dream for Lakeside Park is embodied in this song by Rush.

Anyway, here are the lyrics to go with that MIDI that's playing.

"Grand Designs" by Rush

A to B --
Different degrees...

So much style without substance
So much stuff without style
It's hard to recognize the real thing
It comes along once in a while
Like a rare and precious metal beneath a ton of rock
It takes some time and trouble to separate from the stock
You sometimes have to listen to a lot of useless talk

Shapes and forms
Against the norms --
Against the run of the mill
Swimming against the stream
Life in two dimensions is a mass production scheme

So much poison in power, the principles get left out
So much mind on the matter, the spirit gets forgotten about
Like a righteous inspiration overlooked in haste
Like a teardrop in the ocean, a diamond in the waste
Some world-views are spacious -- and some are merely spaced

Against the run of the mill
Static as it seems
We break the surface tension with our wild kinetic dreams

Curves and lines -- of grand designs...

A small, furry feline

So perfect. I want the Park to be the "real thing" beneath the ton of rock of the Internet. I want to break out of the standard web poet mold. I want the Park to stand out like a campfire on a moonless night.

Curves and lines -- of grand designs...

Heartstone
