Crop the tops and bottoms
Letterbox
And place it in an opalescent
Vase

Play history out
Leave a long tail,
ample heading,
Existence
Framed in black
God came late
In the second Act
I heard that the
Third is a doozy

What are the tent poles
Of your life?
Point Hosh
Hook line
And sinker

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it

-- Omar Khayyam
