Relic of the machine age.
Retro milposting and glimpses of the past.

"Children of the cold sun and the broken horizon,
O secret faces, multitudes, eyes of inscrutable grief,
great breath of millions, in unknown crowds or alone,
rooms of dreamers above the cement abyss,-and I,
who all night restive in the unsleeping rain,
awake and saw the windows covered with tears.
Pilots heading to their fully loaded Douglas A-1H Skyraiders aboard the USS Bon Homme Richard (CV-31) in the waters off Vietnam, 1 January 1965.
