"We are a small and lonely human race/ Showing no sign of mastering solitude/ Out on this stony planet that we farm./ The most that we can do for one another/ Is let our blunders and our blind mischances/ Argue a certain brusque abrupt compassion./ We might as well be truthful.../" From "Stepping Backward" -- a poem by Adrienne Rich
After War and Peace, I decided to go in the opposite direction... as far in the opposite direction as possible. Short. Sexy. Lesbionic. Whew, this will be quick and dirty... just how I like it. (Ha-ha.)
