My valor is certainly going, it is sneaking off! I feel it oozing out as it were, at the palms of my hands!

As so many commitments demand your timeOr your shut-eye important be,Your attraction to me must in some way lack,Such a pity to spend time on thee.

Pierre Salinger

Salmon swim against my stream of consciousness.
