Signifying Arrangement


With A zonked out
on sleeping pills,


he drove to B.


Returning when
she so slowly woke.


Seven days a week.
An independent consultant,


he worked from both homes.
And when A almost decided
to break off the pills, proved


warm and supportive and
completely loving.


But agreed with physicians, “No.”
Not a hypocritical decision:


Hardly a Republican.


And when he died--had fought
a lifetime disease--both


women got their homes,
and equal amounts
of cash and stocks.


Best of friends...now.


More things in
Heaven and Earth


than are dreamt of
in your philosophy.


Hamlet being right-on,
his time and ours.
