57: I watch the clock. Being your slave, what can I do?
I wasn’t just orphaned, I pursued other interests.
Time’s precious,
save I feel and still show absence of move ment from the inside,
absence upon hours — a sour dare to spend ...
and to question my jealousy —
So it’s taken this long to read the gospel of wealth and service.
I dare not think of desire diffused at any cost to render your mouth a sobbing world-without-end, a precious mess.
On the outside how happy you are ... are you? Tho this may be amiss I think no ill. Adieu.
