Too much honor
kills with impunity
The intrepid among us
—perdition surrounds

that corrosive impunity of entitlement's, featherweight honor
amongst the abundance of killer-intent: intrepidity
where perdition's zeal: as ever, Reigns sinisterly - Supreme...
In Hemingway's 'Death In The Afternoon' he talks about too much honor being
deadly and the 'crossroad' a Bullfighter must face.
I'll add it to my reading list immediately,
I read the sun also rises and his portrayal of
Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona
was so vivid, I kinda didn't want to risk tainting it with
death in the afternoon
like he wrote, I just wanted that vivid literary gift
to foerver remain:
“Isn't it pretty: to think, so.”
