Dead Ahead—Your Last Resort

A horse, of course, can pull a hearse,

but sometimes something sadly worse

can happen; it can go off course

(slight misdirection from its source)

and cause its passenger to curse—

a torrent coarse with no remorse,

its utterances so adverse

they cause the demons to disperse.

But it’s too late, though this discourse

may call for absolute divorce

from circumstances too diverse

to alter, every try will falter.

None can change events long past

which now will permanently last—

time can’t be shifted in reverse.

I see this verse is headed south.

I heard it from a horse’s mouth.
