I’VE GOT THE POWER

My Shredded Manuscript has been found —
not the shreds, which were dumped
at the side of the road
in three clear garbage bags
two years ago —
but a surviving copy
in Vermont
in an old farm house
belonging to My Stepmother
Who shared in My Happiness today
when I called Her
& She asked, ” Have You heard
The Good News?”
My suicidal activity
has been undone
& I don’t have to DO anything
with The Resurrection
like re-write It
into an epic poem
I can merely bask
in Its discovery
& know that It’s safe
driven by Eliza & Her Boyfriend
home by Saturday

A certain closure to be savoured.
Yes, thank you, but do I dare read it when it gets home?
If you still have the power I don’t see why not. 🙂
Oh Ben, you ARE such a nice guy, and you always seem to say the right things.
I wish. Still, if I even get it right sometimes it’s something to be glad about.
Not only do you get it right, I am grateful for your attention to my work.
Great news!!!!!!
