In The Fast Lane
Once again a poem of mine appears at The Asses of Parnassus. For a brief joyride, click here

My poem “Acceleration” is a parody of a famous poem by A. E. Housman (1859–1936). Most Spherians are likely familiar with the verse, but here it is for those who may not know it.
Stars, I have seen them fall,
But when they drop and die
No star is lost at all
From all the star-sown sky.
The toil of all that be
Helps not the primal fault;
It rains into the sea,
And still the sea is salt.

Excellent parody, Richie. How true it is. America and its Mad Car Disease.

Hello, Cally. Thanks for stopping by. Yes, our car culture aptly represents the mad rush and frenetic pace of life. I prefer a much slower and less hurried lane. Occupying no lane may be best of all. Warm regards to you.
Richard
