"…there is no place for purely human boasts of grandeur, or for forgetting that men build their cultures by huddling together, nervously loquacious, at the edge of an abyss.‎" – Kenneth Burke.

Caveat: Quatrain #108

(Poem #296 on new numbering scheme)

by means of movements small
and large, that spiral and conspire
to etch scars on us all.

– a quatrain in ballad meter.
