10 Ticks For Every Tock

My life is a conflict,

for instance, I'm anti-

prefix and I print thou

sands of leaflets to end

waste and promote recy

cling.

 

Is nothing sacred? No

thing ventured, nothing gained.

Even the cows appre

ciate the milk of hu

man kindness. Nothing is

sacred. The snare drum in my

heart has lost its tautness, the

springs have become strings that

are pulled not by heartwarm

ing scenes but the slowly

chilled grip of calipers.
