Little Guillotines There is a bright, little guillotine, I think that you should know— Its edge as wide as paper’s brink, Blade sharp as shining snow. A man with calloused hands holds tight New rope wrapped ‘round his palms, Holding the fatal machine aloft While belting out shepherding psalms. He follows his prey or ward about Still working with cord and song, The guillotine floating in front of him— It’s been over your head all along. Yes, you have a little guillotine Suspended just over your head. Of course, I have one too, and so do the men Who are with us wherever we tread. Jamie R—’s rope was too-soon released When by murderers he was kissed. Violet’s M—’s shadow-man let her blade fall When she quietly opened her wrists. When the president’s brain met a bullet, I saw his man stumble and fall; While your grandmother lived till ninety-six— She beckoned her man with a call. You, unlike most, now know of this knife Swinging slightly, invisibly there. You’ll see them and their men in every place, Over all necks, whether collared or bare. Sometimes on my porch at mid-morning, My cat proudly brings me a crow; I see its dead eyes, and wonder when my Guillotine will split me, head to toe.
Taryn C. (unfinished, still tweaking it here or there)

No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be; Am an attendant lord, one that will do To swell a progress, start a scene or two, Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool, Deferential, glad to be of use, Politic, cautious, and meticulous; Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse; At times, indeed, almost ridiculous— Almost, at times, the Fool. I grow old … I grow old … I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot
