Useless Excuses

To make no excuses For the useless Seems ruthless. But just may defuse Their serial abuses.

Economic Treatise

Talk is cheap; demand is low For useless prattle, though Its aggregate supply Is mercilessly high.

On a Public Toilet in Smyrna, by Agathias Scholasticus A.P. 9.642

Here all the luxuries of mortals, all their delicacies, Turn to foul excrement, and have ceased to please. Pheasants and fish, mixed with the mortar’s ground-up seasoning And all that fancy finger food, here turn to dung. The belly forces out all that the gullet forces in, And soon enough man knows that in his arrogance The sum of all his extravagance and gold is only waste; His foolishness now has become only  dust.

–Bob Zisk (translated from Agathias Scholasticus)

The First Poet

Seeing a mammoth shadow Strike the mouth of his cave, He was reminded Of something else.
