BARGAINING

 

Mephistopheles rejected me...‘it’s not a bargain that I make’... Ask the
other fellow...the one upstairs...the ‘real old fake!’...
Is there no one you can count on...when you’re in this kind of pinch... So I
gathered myself together...as I begged and cajoled...
Just this side of ‘blasphemous’... Yet
humble...sounding clever... Like apple pie à la mode...
The ‘OLD GUY’...seemed to listen...but wouldn’t budge an inch... Thought
I’d take it from the top again in case he missed the gist... I wasn’t asking
for the world...I wasn’t asking for much...
All I wanted was a little more...of what I love the most... What’s a
little ‘TIME’ to you...you’re busier than ‘HELL’ I thought I made it
crystal clear...but maybe I had not
I was a perfect Bargainer...I learned it over time... So now
I’ll just have to...sweeten the pot...
Take my ‘jewels’...and worldly goods...and give me some more ‘TIME’!
The time I seek...is selfish time...my Prince...my life my love’s...
Not well...
Do this for me...and you will see...
A very different Emily...!
I will sing your praises and everyone will praise the praises...
The...praises of the LORD...
If not...I guess...I will remain...a ‘Christopher Hitchens’ acolyte... A Non-
Believer...in the Deceiver...
We are nothing...without each other...you need me don’t you see...? You are
‘NOTHING WITHOUT ME!’
‘YOU NEED ME’... ‘JUST
TO BE’!
