Malthus and raspberries
Posted: August 5th, 2006, 4:30 pm
I hear a toddler scream next door, repeatedly.
I hear a precious new life wail, repeatedly,
continuously, day after day,
despite every advantage of love,
despite his easy-livin' summer.
I hear how he wails, despite easy-livin'.
If I were Malthus, I'd inquire if the rock could take much more of this...
yet another ungrateful resource-sucker and shit-disturber.
But I'm not Malthus.
and the raspberries are out.

sorry, I couldn't resist!
