Where There's a Will, Poet

You want to leave

A legacy. What better way
Than to stay

Ineluctable, keeping
The inheritors away.

Huuklyeand Cinquor on the Mores of Humans

All

This talk of humanism is just
So much humbug;

I can’t speak for the others,
But isn’t being human just

One more excuse for living
Like an animal?

Moderator’s comments: I think all this is clever Huuklyeandish subterfuge; in reality, an outlandish allusion to various seminal anthropological studies, Malinowski’s The Sexual Life of Savages the most likely referent.

Photo taken some years ago during a rare snowstorm that hit the area and stayed for about a week; poem written round about the same time.

With daylight temperatures in Southern Greece hovering in the middle 20s (that's centigrade, of course) for the last month or so, it makes one long for the days when winter was definitely not for the birds.

Huuklyeand Cinquor on the Preponderance of Whores on Wall Street


Honey, I keep telling you
If life is so damn sweet, why

Are there so many sour pusses
Walking the streets?

Moderator’s comments: Damn good question, Cinquor. Keep it up and you’ll screw things up good too.
