Gone Tomorrow

I just wrote a long post singing the advantages of not being able to grow a beard. And did I twist myself into a fine rhetorical tizzy. Let this spare post stand as a monument to the failure of words hairs.

I preserve for you, for it is not mine, a single passage from the treatise:

"Astride of a grave and a difficult birth. Down in the hole, lingeringly, the gravedigger puts on the forceps. We have time to grow old. The air is full of our cries. [He listens.] But habit is a great deadener."

And this:

"We celebrate the ginger germination of our (sometimes ginger) pubic tendrils."

Peace, siblings.
