"Oh, man! admire and model thyself after the whale! Do thou, too, remain warm among ice. Do thou, too, live in this world without being of it. Be cool at the equator; keep thy blood fluid at the Pole. Like the great dome of St. Peter's, and like the great whale, retain, O man! in all seasons a temperature of thine own."
Herman Melville, Moby Dick
1.12.16
Today
I walked by two men digging a hole
In their front lawn.
In an impulse of curiosity
I asked them:
"Are you burying a dead body?"
I don't think they quite
Understood my humor.
