I wish I was a quiet
thoughtless
simpelton.

Animal;
perhaps a turtle
in some ocean.

Unable to understand
the worst species on Earth;
the humans.

Dreaming of leaving a legacy
by destroying the cradle
of us all.

Welcome back, sir. The above is nothing I haven't heard before, but it
is an appropriate time to restate it.

Just to bump Antti's poem, here's a song (with lyrics by the great Neil
Peart) that "I Wish" reminded me of:

"I'd rather be a tortoise in Galapagos
Or a span of geological time
Than be living in these Dog Years ..."

Antti is very active on Facebook lately, a good sign he's hopefully feeling better.
