everything withers on a vine like                                                          grapes                                                                       to                                                                            raisins. Seeking the power of sublimation, I grasp the ghost of my sadness by the scruff of it's ghostly collar and look it in the ghostly eyes to tell it, as resolutely as Horatio Nelson                                              screaming                                                                   commands to his fleet to attack Napoleon's assembled navy at the mouth of Aboukir Bay two centuries and 19 years before the meanwhile write, that I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I really can't breathe you sonuvabitch.   *but in the end, my victory is as assured as Napoleon's eventual defeat. I will route my demons at their own little Waterloo... and even if they return from exile to rule one last time, they will find their second attempt much more fleeting.*

The Battle of Aboukir Bay
everything withers on a vine like                                                          grapes                                                                       to                                                                            raisins. Seeking the power of sublimation, I grasp the ghost of my sadness by the scruff of it's ghostly collar and look it in the ghostly eyes to tell it, as resolutely as Horatio Nelson                                              screaming                                                                   commands to his fleet to attack Napoleon's assembled navy at the mouth of Aboukir Bay two centuries and 19 years before the meanwhile write, that I can't breathe. I can't breathe. I really can't breathe you sonuvabitch.   *but in the end, my victory is as assured as Napoleon's eventual defeat. I will route my demons at their own little Waterloo... and even if they return from exile to rule one last time, they will find their second attempt much more fleeting.*
