Artificial Fires, Dept.

Watching
the National Mall and Hudson River
fireworks and
hearing
"The Stars and Stripes Forever" and "The Caissons Go Rolling Along,"
these songs that introduced
the American Century,
the disconnect between
those times and these,
that America and this.
Like replaying that recording
of your touchdown,
the one that led your high school to the final
at your retirement party.

Only way I know how to reach you. Just read and delete. Here's a good fix until they get their act together. It is working for me, just follow steps:

1) Click the Save Post button.
2) Click the Edit Posts tab.
3) Find the empty post just saved. (Should be at the top of the list, in draft mode.)
4) Click the Edit link to the left of its listing.
5) Proceed as usual.
