11,595. ADMONISH

ADMONISH
I don't think I'll admonish
you or anyone else. I live
my own balloon and that 
air I use is mine. Boldface
and italic, at one and the
same time. We can leave it 
all at that, and move away.
-
Keep the stove where it's 
bolted down. The gas line 
is working fine right there  
-  and why should we mess
with such apparent success?
-
Kenneth keeps a level head,
and Marybeth, I notice, is still
a lovely piece. There were
smudges where our smiles
lived; but they're painted
over now and nicely bright 
again. You can bring me what
you owe me when I forget
what it was you owed.
