Wow. What they all said up there. Just. Amazing. Wow.
And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully! Smoothed by long fingers, Asleep…tired…or it …uh…lingers, Stretched on the ground, with you here next to me. Should I, after tea and meat and ice Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis? Cuz though I've wept and starved, wept and begged, Though I've seen my head [not bald like Vecchio] brought in on a platter, I'm no profit—and it's no big deal; I've seen the moment of my greatness flicker, And I've seen the Bookman take my wife, and snicker, And, no joke, I was afraid.

Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?
Cuz though I've wept and starved, wept and begged,
Though I've seen my head [not bald like Vecchio] brought in on a platter,
I'm no profit—and it's no big deal;
I've seen the moment of my greatness flicker,
And I've seen the Bookman take my wife, and snicker,
And, no joke, I was afraid.
Lovely.
