Space was no place for #chivalrous behaviour. Out there, you didn’t let anyone go first, you kept your nose out of other folks’ business unless asked. Space was cold in so many ways.
That was before. Now, with an implacable Enemy, you helped as soon as you thought it was needed. Dylan knew.

Chivalry has been dead
ever since Don Quixote
went completely...
struggled with
mental health concerns,
but there were no therapists
so he rode his horse
from town to town
while hallucinating
just like those of us
who've gone completely...

Legends relish
all that is thrown at them
could survive in the outer limits
of a chilly frozen world
with rampant beasts
sky reaching mountains
with icy lakes down below

The #legends of the #chivalrous chihuahua that chugged a can of beer while clinging on to a precarious cliff are still recalled with chilling clarity in chiffon curtained parlours over #chilly garlic lemon flavoured potato chips served with a pinch of salt.

From the #vss365 jukebox, this is Ourselves to Know by Warren Zevon of the album Life’ll Kill Ya:
Be #chivalrous to strangers you meet along the road
As you take that holy ride yourselves to know

I woke up
This morning
To a dragon
In my bed
I’m a heavy drinker
But last night
I lost
My head
Woke to
Scaly beast I spooned
Who gently
Stroked my head
I’d call her
An Uber
But the thought
Fills me with dread
I lie still
So neither me
Nor #chivalry
Ends dead…
