A Dialogue part two
Grim-faced Lawrence, erstwhile
Marine, did you think I’d change
The cosmos on a whim? You
Wished those many years ago
And I gave you what you sought,
Her to be cared for, and you
To have something to do.
I extended her life beyond
Her doctors’ predictions,
And yet you brayed like
Balaam’s ass when you
Experienced her inevitable
End. Do you accuse me
Now of trickery or lies?
Am I some devil and you
A Faust to make me give
Her back after all these years?
Set aside your vaunted knife
And gun. Who knows,
I may have you write some
Trifles in days to come.
