One reason cats are happier than people is that they have no newspapers.
My last defense / Is the present tense.
Books are meat and medicine and flame and flight and flower steel, stitch, cloud and clout, and drumbeats on the air.
There are no magics or elves / Or timely godmothers to guide us. We are lost, must / Wizard a track through our own screaming weed.
It is brave to be involved
We don't ask a flower any special reason for its existence. We just look at it and are able to accept it as being something different from ourselves.
