IF I

If I leave now

we�ll all be happier

heartier, more heedful

of hubris to come.

If I leave now

things can improve demonstrably

decidedly

for the both of us.

If I simply walk out that door

we need never speak of this fiasco

- this suite of sorrows -

that we�ve experienced.

It�s all so simple

it�s all absolutely resolved

if I depart

immediately.
