Big Changes

A quote from Laurie Anderson adapted from Walter Benjamin:

He said History is an angel
being blown backward against the future
History is a pile of debris
the angel wants to go back
and fix things, to repair
the things that have been broken.

But there is a storm
blowing from paradise and
the storm keeps blowing
the angel backward into the future.
And this storm, this storm
is called Progress.
