Der großartige #OttoReutter schrieb 1906 dieses #Couplet:
Das Aut'mobil – ich sag's mit froher Miene –
ist auch 'ne Sache, die jetzt Steuern bringt.
Ich pump' mir 's Geld für solche Kraftmaschine –
ich Kauf Sie mir – und wenn sie noch so stinkt.
Und sollt' mir beim Kutschieren
auch ein Malheur passieren,
brech' ich die Knochen, hat es keine Not,
ich sterb' als echter, deutscher Patriot!

There is no finer thing: to find oneself
within an enjambment that's crafted well.
God makes enough theoreticálly
But we’re told there’s more patheticálly•

As moss sleeps beside the river,
We sleep beside our lives
****
When I was writing this poem I found myself searching for moments of quiet beauty in my life. The memory that surfaced was hiking in the forest and seeing moss like carpet by the riverside.
Now, thinking about it, I also remember moss growing by the drain in an old house, and how it was icky then.
Memories remind us that time is real.
The consul he will come. I know it Sir
Replied Phileas Fogg. Just think Monsieur.
