We are the owls of the weather chaw.We take it blistering,We take it all.Roiling boiling gusts,We're the owls with the guts.For blizzards our gizzardsDo tremble with joy.An ice storm, a gale, how we love blinding hail.We fly forward and backward,Upside down and flat.Do we flich? Do we wail?Do we skitter or scutter?No, we yarp one more pelletAnd fly straight for the gutter!Do we screech? Do we scream?Do we gurgle? Take pause?Not on your life

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
