Note:  I get upset when I get depressed and insecure, so all kinds of
       things poison this thing that I've occasionally referred to as
       a mind.  In the depths of my despair, I've only occasionally
       felt this way-  and then I rebound.  Write now (pun intended)
       it's easier for me to write about gravity...

Note2: No, this isn't poetry-  or, at least, none of any form I'd be
       able to comprehend.  My wife is the poet, not me, but I don't
       see her ever being incompetent enough to write this.


                         Balance

                     by Jack C Lipton


You call for me.
What do you want?
Do you ever ask me?
Or do you fear my answer?

You want my time and attention.
I don't gotta-  Any more than you do.

Ask me not for favors-
For a favor absolves you of debt.
I carry enough debt-  I need no more.

Expect no enthusiasm-
For I may work in your interest,
I do it out of love.

Yes, I'm stupid.
You see no debt.
You feel not neglect.

For this you chose me?
For this I still breathe?

Yet in the depths of my anger I can still forgive.
You never ask-  I still push my pain aside.
For you.
