A penny for the old Guy [T.S. Eliot - The Hollow Men]*

A bet on the nonexistent
remember to stretch out your hands
remember to quench the thirst and hunger
of what lies silent within you:
the bubbles of mounting tension
a mad fuse for what’s to come.

Sometimes, walking home from a party
makes history; late at night, newlyweds 
of the early morning find excuses
as they wait for the sun.
