Groucho Marx (1890–1977) This is no way to live! Teetering on starched sheets, hard pillows, as I wait to fall — so many needle marks, I feel as though I’ve spent my time here wooing a reluctant porcupine. But waiting here is better than what waits for me in turn: the entrance to a club that I don’t want to join.

Now comes good sailing: sheets filled, water curling from the bow, heeling to the wind, sun glinting on white foam, and no need to return to land. But maybe I shall miss the land: the shadowed forests and the endless plains, moose, bison, caribou, bear, wolf, and mountain lion, and the ghosts of cultures fading from ancestral grounds, nobility displaced by politics, Abenaki, Passamaquoddy, Wolastoqiyik, Mi’kmaq, and Penobscot — now just Indian. No, no, I’ll take to water, steer a course by sun and stars to where there is no you or I, but just the sea reflecting sky in rolling waves.

You too, child? Is this your reply to my forgiveness of your treachery? With your hand added to the bloody fray, your dagger thrust into my unsuspecting flesh, there is no point in trying to defend my life. And though you have betrayed me twice, I take no pleasure in the thought that you will die alone, defeated, by the blade of this same knife.

Hello, brother. Welcome to your final chance to forgo evil. See here, see how your fear (fermented into hatred) is unfounded. Those whom you have come to kill are all familiar: grandmas, granddads, wives and husbands, sons and daughters — families like yours. But if you can’t put down your gun and join with us in peace, here is my body as a shield; it has five places ready to receive your wrath: the declaration of my faith; my prayers; my charitable gifts; my fast from dawn to setting sun; my journey as a pilgrim.

I hope the exit is joyful and hope never to come back. Not that I lack backbone (though at times I’ve wished I did); not that I regret, renege, recant. I’d not undo a jot of what I’ve done — if only I’d done more of it, in fact. I’ve stood on my two feet, as long as I had feet to stand on, and I’ve taken all the tortures in life’s dungeon, then gone back for more. I’ve offered beauty in the face of ugliness, and truth when lies are all around. I’d keep on going if I could, but now the choice is taken from me; all I have’s the power to choose how I should leave. I still say “long live life”, but now not “long live me”.

It’s gone on too long. Push me over the edge. No, I’m not a fighter, I’m not clinging on to life in brave defiance of inevitable death. I’m hanging on, yes, like a button longing for the thread to snap — useless as a fastener yet dangling in hopelessness and pain that shouldn’t have to be endured. I’m blindly teetering upon the lip of being: which side is solid land and which the welcome void? Whichever way I shift I find myself still here, still wobbling on this unwanted earth, still wishing for the gentle fall.

I know things kinda suck at the moment, but on the bright side, my #book of #poems based off people's #lastwords might actually count as a pick-me-up at this point.

So here's a link to buy direct for only $10: bit.ly/47q0Kqy

Why People Say Rabbit Rabbit on the First Day of the Month Have you ever wondered why so many people say Rabbit! or Rabbit, Rabbit! on the first day of each month?

🤭THIS is a fun lucky charm, IF you can do it JUST right‼️⬇️

🦋When I do it, I kid you not — I *did* have a “lucky new month.”😉

My version is from #UK~folklore:

1. LAST day of the month, your #LastWords should be “Black Hare”✖️3.
2. FIRST day, #FirstWords🟰 “White Rabbit” ✖️3.

🦋It’s HARD to do, tho‼️🤣🤷🏼‍♀️

Go to the rising sun; I am already setting. Your journey through the darkness may be long, and who can tell when you will see at last the eastern sky begin to glow. There may be more than one apparent sun — if so, don’t be alarmed. Stay calm, and choose the one that glories in its rise, and loves the day; reject the feeble eastern star that – even as it rises – yearns to sink in glory into night.

der Jugend Dummheit, Unwissenheit und Nichtskönnen zu unterstellen.
Sehr seriös macht dich das nicht.
Das was du hier von dir gibst, wurde in den 80ern schon über die Jugend erzählt.
Wie sich die Zeiten ändern, das gelabber der älteren aber nicht.
Und doch klappt es kurioser weise doch.
