Sometimes the stars
Begin to whisper
Evil little things
To passing particles
Of distant cousins
Of somebody
In that last movie
You saw
On a rainy
Wednesday

Maybe someday
They’ll whisper
Something about
You

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

    I absolutely adore this. It's one of those poems that the instant I read it I thought I wish I had written that.

    Kudos, truly.
