So—on with it, decider! Out with it,

off with it! Remember the divine

example (one must kill to save

the kid). Let’s see your

shiner, or your shooter, or your

killer of a regal kiss! You owed us.

Not just from day one, but also later,

when you cared to split

the difference: that single kid

was freeable, for once, from all

possession. You, by contrast?

Just a king, whose

immortality derived

from what his women did.

I offered to serve it, to make it

my lord. (And I took it for tall,

from the blips of report.)

But I’ve grown up since then:

All its hauteurs are fake.

Not for nothing those lifts

in its wingtips:

Time’s short.
