“But I tried, didn't I? Goddamnit, at least I did that.”
He scribbled it down and you must when it's bad,
when the minute hand hurts as it crawls down to six
and the merest glance comes at you scything and mad;
lone diners draw sympathy, vision plays tricks.
As good as demanding the sun to stay put -
with the grand folly wisdom of curing the ill -
he attempted it, damn it, and all of us should
match the gaze of the monster, never lie still.
