Just A Note From Eighty-Eight


Just a note from eighty-eight

again hardly a choice

the manipulators, left and right

controllers of destinies

all systems seem brinked

all antipathies seem peaked

all weapons drawn

all parley exhausted

Just a note from eighty-eight

that if we stay around

might someday be found

to remind us that was not our fate.


- Paul Malécot
