April anticipations, after the Wasteland [ ht > T.S.Eliot ]

March, a griffin, almost done, but

that cruelest month is yet to come;

its Spring roots stirring dread memories,

and unwonted dispassions.

Cupid has / special / theriac arrows / to infatuate and / others to defatuate.

Your theriac may / be a cure-all / but won't save you /from mort de rire / (death by laughing).
