" The music of my youth was much better
Than the music of yours. So was the weather.
...
Back then, people wrote gorgeous letters
And read more poetry. So did the weather.
...
Of all issues, there was only one dissenter,
But we loved him, too. So did the weather.
...
We were guitar-players and inventors
Of minor chords and antibiotics. So was the weather.

From "Terminal Nostalgia "

― Sherman Alexie
