Sorry, Pliny
Sorry, Pliny
(his words in italics)
Do not unduly despair:
Nature hath distributed safe
and effective medicine
most everywhere---
excepting in particular
as a part of
our ongoing nightmare,
the one of our so-called
breathable 21st Century air …
or when we’re under current
doctors’ costly care.
