This cookie is quite harmless; however, it saves a list of your favourite posts on this site. Up to 99 of your favourites will appear on your computer only, in the list to the right, on the device that has the cookie. Note that favourites saved on one device will not be favourites on others, and that clearing your cookies will clear that particular device's list.
I am not sure about this, but the favourites list should work, even if you are not a subscriber. I know that it does work for subscribers.
The flow
consider defeat
His huge leather tunic gleamed;
his massive hippopotamus hide shield
proclaimed his bloody history.
There he beat the side of his iron blade
as the drums pounded,
shaking the dusty hillside,
heating his hungry blood.
The marine’s gleaming boot
hesitated for a second
then lifted into the helicopter
bay from a frazzled rooftop in Seoul
as the streets swarmed
screaming chaos below.
In the empty locker room
the bruised rookie realized
only one winged victor
can dance on the
head
of a pyramid
and the pharaoh
is entombed deep below.
