57: I watch the clock. Being your slave, what can I do?
I wasn’t just orphaned, I pursued other interests
all at once. Time’s precious,
save I feel and still show absence of move ment from the inside,
absence upon hours — a sour dare to expend ...
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 world-without-end, a sobbing, precious mess.
On the outside how happy you are ... are you? Tho this may be amiss, I think no ill. Adieu.
