VOX IONAM IN PISCI EST
though scorned so many and loved so much,
with both medusa and the midas touch,
should we choose to repine away
or stand to face our judgement day?
do we, straining, lift the veil of isis
or lie back: succumb to mid-life crisis?
proclaim the time dies nefasti
but croak for want of elastoplasti?
tossed on the horns of hamlet’s dilemma
declare “we are” without a tremor?
to sneer at prufrock: “eat the peach”
who are we to preach such speech?
gamble all on legs of stone
or settle on the dice now thrown?
slowly greying, tea and schmaltz:
become spectators of the waltz.
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
snowmen melt and tin men rust
