turbid relationship seems to have precluded turgid performance.

Turbidity
as opaque as my creamed coffee,
swirls about the rationality
of organizing a society
that cannot,
will not
reproduce
and depends upon its enemies
to come hither
and be corrupted
into the likes of them
and replace their dwindling numbers.
Turbidity of thought
to think that this would work.

17 May 1875
The Kentucky Derby was run for the 1st time in Louisville's Churchill Downs race park. Aristides was the winner.
You didn't think I'd miss this one did you?
