::

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. -The Worthily Beloved William Shakespeare

I am a rag

I am but a wethered rag
seething in my rage
for when there is another rag
still my employment is engaged.

Scrub my face into the grime
that did not come from me,
Scrape my wrinkles all the time
to make not myself clean.

Crumple me and soak me now
in your murky water til I drown.
Until again I am revived
and again I'll grimly frown.
