Musings upon boundaries
It is hard to remember that once we lived in a world that had boundaries. Boundaries dividing land into regions, into states, into nations.
Boundaries based on economics, where money determined your class standing and your life opportunities. Passports that indicated where you
lived, and had to be shown when crossing land borders. This old order has collapsed. There are no boundaries anymore. We no longer have
clear limits to suggest where one region ends and another begins. Money is gone, as are passports. The people who live in this "brand
new world" use the geographic names that are leftover from the old order - Denver, Portland, Millhaven. It help reminds us of our collective
past, and helps orient us in this still evolving present. But their borders no longer have agreed upon meaning.
