For Dave


Lovely

Let us say, for argument's sake, that this
Hasn't been such a terrible week. Let us
Say that my car isn't back in the shop,
That the pool's walls don't crumble to
Dust with a touch, that the faucet upstairs
Still shuts off, and my granddaughter
Doesn't relentlessly cry. Everything's
Wonderful. What could I need?
Really, not anything, but I contend,
For argument's sake, that I'd benefit
If you were here.
