13,549. GENERALLY WISE

GENERALLY WISE
Perhaps too little time is spent
picking the termites from out of
the wood. They ingratiate themselves,
soon enough anyway, in a sawdust
muddle. We really can't detour to
that. Do you hear me? Am I getting
through to you?
-
There's no distress like a sinking
ship that your loved ones are on,
You scan the papers, looking for
the names of those lost, like it 
was 1912 all over again. 'It's OK,
really; we'll just set one less place
at the table...'
