No Need to Clap Your Hands or Stomp Your Feet

What you’ve got is as good
As it gets—or close. If
It gets worse, that’s too bad,

But it will. It has to,
At some point. At some point
Or points on the way (pray,

If you want, for a long,
Long way), it could well get
More fine than it is now.

We said, close—not, for sure.
Can you like it, this curb
On your side of a road

That has to have curbs, ditch,
Some kind of edge at least?
Come sit. Wait with us, please.
