  1. LUST REVOKED

    Exhausted I stare at the puddle
    with a cleaning rag in my hand
    as I see a whale emerge
    turning lustre to shade
    Bravado flattens
    departure fades
    new chores loom
    over
    me

  2. #Trump enjoys strong support among many active-duty service members & #veterans who appreciate his vocal backing [outwardly if not actual] & admire his unvarnished #bravado, according to polls & analysts. Yet some career officers said the president clearly does not understand the ethos of service or the #nonpartisan tradition of the American #ArmedForces.

  3. A quotation from Molière

    CLÉANTE: There’s true and false in piety, as in bravery,
       And just as those whose courage shines the most
       In battle, are the least inclined to boast,
       So those whose hearts are truly pure and lowly
       Don’t make a flashy show of being holy.
     
    [Il est de faux dévots ainsi que de faux braves:
    Et, comme on ne voit pas qu’où l’honneur les conduit
    Les vrais braves soient ceux qui font beaucoup de bruit,
    Les bons et vrais dévots, qu’on doit suivre à la trace,
    Ne sont pas ceux aussi qui font tant de grimace.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Tartuffe, or the Hypocrite [Le Tartuffe, ou L’Imposteur], Act 1, sc. 6 (1669) [tr. Wilbur (1963)]
