The time must come when we put aside recipes untried, socks unmended, old fabrics too pretty to be used -when the bottled nuts and bolts -the springs, the locks unused -waiting, wait unused -the memorabilia of hope, the rusty steel of life. The time must come when cease to lie -lotions, Elixirs de Leon -when we fail our bite to the night-soak and think not -care not, of that breath that does not count anyhow -when reason mirrors wrinkles -undreams romance. -hooked rugs of might-have-done, school albums, what not become, leather bottles, convalescing sun -and the quieting ice. When I read the Sports/ Society page, I ask myself -them, 'How will you go down? -willingly? -with, if not a Bang, a Whimper? -if not with, without the Apotheosis of Drug?
