Yes indeed dear poet. I take that onboard, we are all just dead foxes waiting to happen.
So I better get on with living a bit of life then!
Your piece contains a great positive \'kick up the arse\' message today for most of us. Though the depressed among us will only acknowledge the negative which is so sad.

There\'s a lot of meaning depth here. I also love how some of it appears as flashing scenes: \"Dead fox laying on the road, a fleeting moment and now you\'re home\" Totally maverick if you ask me. Captivating to say the least!

Usual great piece of writing, Sax.
The key is obviously embodied in the lines already quoted above – no need to repeat them.
I feel sometimes we are so removed from what could be our essential nature that there is no way back…perhaps. Or not….

yeah, we who: bombarded no10
to stop the mindless hunting
with horses and guns;
then run them down
two at a time, with our cars
while cursing their existence
as merely a nuisance, to our privileged existence...
(of hypocrite duality
in our ever-fallible, humanity
you pen, my friend)
really well written
thanks for sharing, dear Poet

A fine write SC.
Erm, I saw one once on a country road. I took it to a nearby pub. Most embarrassing, as it was smelling by then, and I asked if they could bury it. They looked at me as if to say \'Doh! Why you bring that thing here?\'

Great one dear poet
People may acclaim that we are rebel in our own way
Disrespecting their advice
But isn’t it high time
Peace

Great stuff, Sax.
The adjustments and compromises parents have to make as offspring mature, I’m sure is very difficult. (I have only observed this process between my parents and I; Never been a parent myself).
Whatever the difficulty, the move to individuate must be undertaken if survival as a free autonomous human being is to be achieved.
(Aah – too heavy – go for dusk’s lighter version).

Fathers deserve to win a lot more than theyre given credit for. Are you a father? Doesn\'t really matter if you are or not but should you become one then sooner or later you\'ll agree.
Good entertaing stuff.

Intriguing… usually saying yes is such a positive word and yet in your poem it led to some kind of downfall. Very deep and leads the reader to wonder what the question was. Love it .
