today i saw a mouse scurry across tube tracks, and it reminded me of this

And the days are not full enough

And the nights are not full enough

And life slips by like a field mouse

Not shaking the grass.

~ Ezra Pound

Nomenclature: poetry | 3 Bantering Wittily

    Yes I love the simplicity and the idea that we try to cram so much into our days and so in a way we die before we die. Sorry very deep for a Bank Holiday, but have been thinking about this all day…

    Never heard that piece before … it’s lovely in its simplicity
