All those wonder machines un-naturally still. The inventing room locked and the lights out. No silly songs echo through the corridors.

The muted sound of choir and organ filters through closed sanctuary doors. In steepled social hall visitors lead a discussion of how to escape the confines of us and them: Establish a commons. Embrace barren ground. Unearth relationships. Cultivate community. Harmony sketches our meeting, but the din of voices unheard filters through.

Did old Walt pay child support for his five illegitimate children? Did he print their birth announcements in The Long Islander? Are their names in acrostics in Leaves of Grass?
