Where is that well-ordered place of which we dream?
And who can long live in it once they’ve found it
Out? It’s a hired liar’s lie, something like a hotel room
With all life ironed out smooth as sheets
So as we can finally get things done, finally
Get around to whatever we were really
Going to do with ourselves.
The worst thing in a story is to be expected.
And the worst thing in a story is to be
Expected. How do you expect
A happy end to be happy
And beautiful?
