AMERICAN DREAM ‘22

by Scott C. Kaestner
The American Dream Art Print by cindy nguyen


We have to unlearn everything 
we’ve come to know.

Forget the past so as not to
forsake the future.

Be the change coming.

Believe it’s possible.

The Milky Way understands.

Asteroids do slam into planets.

And dinosaurs will disappear.
