Buoy the population of the soul
Toward their destination before they drown

This Be The Verse - Phillip Larkin


They fuck you up, your mum and dad. They may not mean to, but they do. They fill you with the faults they had And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn By fools in old-style hats and coats, Who half the time were soppy-stern And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man It deepens like a coastal shelf. Get out as early as you can, And don't have any kids yourself.
