Today, Tomorrow, To eternity,
In pause-less time and pace.
To get, to gain, to servility,
As the noted rodent race.
To gather, to garner, to glean;
As though life were all bread,
And men, as mice, were seen,
And their hearts as heavy lead. -eab, 10/67
(T.T.T. is borrowed from Piet Heim, Danish, WW II poet.)
