One can happen upon them in museums Or with the proper permissions Study them at length in archival vaults Those inscrutable writings in stone Clay, parchment or paper And whether they’re testament, proclamation Grocery list or graffiti Or that they are to be read from right to left or Top to bottom is the stuff of scholars And no concern of mine I’m merely taken with their doggedness And the poetry of their antiquity Neither moribund, nor ossified I admire how these ancient characters Continue on in their long-dead hand The ranks and files of angular stick figures That alternately pull, push, carry and drag The rounder, riper glyphs, yielding in nature Herding them in ones and twos Unresisting through the millennia Lowing in their acquiescence |

Them "deadfolk" seem a heap smarter than the vast majority of live ones these days. Nice to read you again, Ed. |

Wranx is baaaack! ~ and so are his glyphs! All of your writings should be etched in stone to preserve them for posterity!  Giving you a warm, welcome-back hug, Linda P.S. Don't be such a stranger! Perhaps you could pop into pip 4 times or more per year! ~ Instead of your usual semi-annual visits! Hmm! I just had a thought! You seem to return around Easter and Christmas! ~ Very curious indeed! lol |

The musty scent of ancient manuscripts tickled my nose reading this, dear wranx. It's a treat to read your rare words, and to envision you by candle-glow deciphering those ancient stones and parchments. Thanks for the visit!!! |

grinnin huge here Ed. It is SUCH a pleasure to read you again and as always, the depth of your writes still amaze me. and I really can envision you there, sitting by candlelight pondering as you write... Always a treat to greet you sir, no matter how often the visits come, as long as they continue to come.
