if-
if you save a life
are you owed or are you
responsible for
what they go on
to do..

lily is writing a speech
she has been asked to make
a night-club appearence

and say a few words-
seems a little heavy..
if not a trifle clumsy..

try again..
if you saved my life
am i for-ever in your debt

or r u responsible for
all the pain and suffering..
all the hate..

no,who said anything about
hate-
if..perhaps i wanted to die

perhaps i save the world
somehow..
perhaps, i should never

have been born..
how some random act of
philantrophy may

save us all-
some bravness or act
of sacrifice-

(like incident at vichy-)
to they who save my life
eternal grace..

should it occur-
do you think lily
the tone is set for a dance

under the plastic trees
bubbles and night of
fun..
