Peace, Alison, 'cluck' and 'suck' rhyme for no good reason other than
everything is connected and I suspect the craziness amongst us is bound up
in the crash of plates, the non-negotiable whirl of the ocean and we've gone
crazy on the lips of waves not knowing in the least - beyond the practical
bury the dead measures - how to deal with the resonance left on the shores:
the dead that don't speak, the land re-arranged or engulfed and no longer
there.
I am looking for a drug called "Equilibrium". Am I a Romantic, or, do you
know where I can get a dose? Will gladly share.
