Deep fried death
Your editor will be out next week, lounging in the river and drinking by day, lounging by the fire, playing games and drinking by night. Y’all have a happy and hell-raisin’ America’s birthday.

AND I KNOW IT
Degenerate MAC sent us this:
The Cycle of Life
It’s a famous unbroken circle,
But it's also a line,
Straight from what is done to what will be.
Hard and unyielding as a garrote,
Its line encircles and chokes out each generation.
And yet again a circle,
Cruel carpenter at a circular saw,
Ripping away,
Parceling out the lives like lumber.
This one needs to be fifty four and five eighths,
And throw it on the pile.
Or the turning screws on a giant funeral ship,
Blind pilot at the helm,
Navigating a random course,
Along the great circles,
Throwing out an enormous wake,
Waves of grief that curl and crash like tsunami,
Without warning.
Or the turning soil,
Plowman readying the ground,
Scraping out line after line in a dusty field,
Raising the next crop for reaping,
Ripe grain to cut down in a sizzling arc,
Scribed by the curving blade of the scythe.
