life may be a stage

life may be a stage 
but fate will decide whether 
tragic or comic

resume bullets
may read differently at the
threshold of heaven

i may win the game
but only if i dare roll
the dice in my hand

may my final rest 
be neither all that restful 
nor final at all

how can i vanquish
what evil may fall if i first
incline to pleasure

never attribute
to malice that which may rise
from incompetence

may my compassion
here at the end of our love
be deep as your rage

one divorce may be
regarded as misfortune
but two seems careless
