Were You And I To Drive The Prairie Together, And The Day Turned Out To Be A Good One, We Might Not Say Much. We Might Get Out Of The Truck At A Crossroads, Stretch, Walk A Little Ways, And Then Walk Back. Maybe The Lark Would Sing. Maybe We Would Stand For A While, All Views To The Horizon, All Roads Interesting. We Might Find There A Balance Of Form And Openness, Even Of Community And Freedom. It Would Be The World As We Had Hoped, And We Would Recognize It Together.'
