Poem #34 Think it over

moments, memory’s ashes
withered in my arms
sweet strange promise
a gift my friend
serious not long ago
It wasn’t a fair thing.
then lie it all right.
 it’s easy enough to say:
 there are others.
Look here, fellows,
Now listen to me
We'll use it
We can and we will,
"I have said it."
"Think it over,"
"Confound it!"
Impress it
"It won't do,"
should it come to that!
"I don't care,” we’ll say.
we’ll look mildly surprised
at nothing but empty air
mark thee in succession
it won’t work on me
Hang that fellow
If he is alive he may be.
