Click hereThe other day I saw a flower
aquarium,
a Globe of glass
hermetically sealed
when you invert it
My world upside down
Was the ladybug red
crawling
on it,
a Picture captured forever
written in red
lines trailing,
the flow uphill salmon are pink
where is the roe?
untold generations eaten
infanticide
committed in the tony bistros
of the Champs Elyses
Flutes of champagne
popping of beluga caviar
No one knew, then what is known now
Yet will We do the same
Who learns from History
Who can?

TiggerTooover 16 years agoThere is no such saying as 'Cut and Dried'. It doesn't make any sense. The real saying is carpentry terminology. It is 'Cut and Tried'. In other words, you cut the board and try it to see if it fits. Not really a great approach. Better to use another saying: 'Measure twice, cut once'. Phil
