Biopsy

Biopsy

When he heard the grim report

a scripture came to mind: “Whatsoever 

ye sow that shall ye also reap.”  

But another aphorism seemed more

appropriate:  “Who lives by the sword 

shall perish by the sword.”  He put that

in its sheath, ate breakfast, like always,

and remembered Crazy Horse: 

“It’s a beautiful day to die.”
