Sal, I.
It is of a just character,
to not burden oneself, nor others
with pungent anger.
Of such a thing,
one must not allow it
to be seeded;
a rampant rake.
Do not busy oneself –
treat the soil
as the figs foretold the Romans.
Now to concern ourselves
for a moment, with
dread,
despair,
solemnity;
I have not yet found such a potent mineral.
John Francis Tracey
