Yeah, yeah, Blue Gal's been blowing off her blog.
She's in a blue state without high speed internet. Strangely freeing is this.
She's getting the New York Times daily and the editorial page is making her feel like the world is sane, which is dangerous.
She's back from Boston and too busy with her children's laundry. (Memo to my favorite production coordinator: Don't get me started!)
So if yer missin' Blue Gal, fret not. Go get a FNYT. (Thanks, Bob.)
I think you mean NYFT...

ReplyDeleteAfter a Time
After a time, all losses are the same
One more thing lost is one thing less to lose;
And we go stripped at last the way we came.
Though we shall probe, time and again, our shame,
Who lack the wit to keep or to refuse,
After a time, all losses are the same.
No wit, no luck can beat a losing game;
Good fortune is a reassuring ruse:
And we go stripped at last the way we came.
Rage as we will for what we think to claim,
Nothing so much as this bare thought subdues:
After a time all losses are the same.
The sense of treachery--the want, the blame--
Goes in the end, whether or not we choose,
And we go stripped at last the way we came.
So we, who would go raging, will go tame
When what we have we can no longer use:
After a time, all losses are the same;
And we go stripped at last the way we came.
um...yeah you need to properly quote your sources.
ReplyDelete"After a time, all losses are the same One more thing lost is one thing less to lose"
Is a quote from the famous poet Catherine Davis. Just an FYI
Thanx for the reference, anon.
