Ah, but what you don't see yet, Andy, is that we ARE the marsh.
We can't stray away from it--we can change shape, change our actions,
but in the end, we ARE this love.  Would Love still exist when every
loving thing is wiped off the face of the earth?

Some people may see the marsh differently, but we all see it.
We can't help but do so.

And yet, still, when corn meets tragedy face to face,
we have politics.
