BANGS AND WHIMPERS 7-15-17

BANGS AND WHIMPERS    7-15-17

“Not with a bang
but a whimper.”
He’s right, that T.S. Eliot.
It’s true.

We are down to the last
days now. Surely
I should do something
bangy, a clanging cymbal
at least.
but the bangs have grown
farther apart
like a back-firing Model T
disappearing over the hill.

But all I want to do
is nothing.
And remember…
