Dylan Thomas wasn’t wrong
When he said, “Don’t say so long
Meekly to the gathered throng;
Show the Reaper that you’re strong:
Do it with great sturm und drang.”
You can take it with you
From dishonor’s imputation,
You’ll take your secrets to the grave
To protect a reputation:
But is it yours you wish to save?
Leaps of faith are death-defying;
But they’re just as breath-denying
As living small or standing tall:
Everyone will hit the wall.
