  • I wish

    From Antti Luode@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 2 06:34:45 2022
    I wish I was a quiet
    thoughtless
    simpelton.

    Animal;
    perhaps a turtle
    in some ocean.

    Unable to understand
    the worst species on Earth;
    the humans.

    Dreaming of leaving a legacy
    by destroying the cradle
    of us all.

    Excellent poetry

    Welcome back, sir. The above is nothing I haven't heard before, but it
    is an appropriate time to restate it.

    Just to bump Antti's poem, here's a song (with lyrics by the great Neil
    Peart) that "I Wish" reminded me of:

    "I'd rather be a tortoise in Galapagos
    Or a span of geological time
    Than be living in these Dog Years ..."

    Antti is very active on Facebook lately, a good sign he's hopefully feeling better.
