a bitter disappointment it must have
been
that all right nightly given
to a day that would have been
else it would have been it would be
something different
now the bitterest would be this
if given with a kiss
and forgotten
the look of it all
the sparkling hyperbole
and manufacture
and the droll regard
quite out of keeping
with the results
obtained for your benefit
will you lend me an ear
bereft of hearing
or the blood money I hoped
and didn’t receive?
