The hideous nature of the act is irrelevant;
whether we are a society which chooses the the laws of Leviticus and Moses
or argue against them in the spirit of some Sacrament,
individuals today still recline on stainless steel cots in woolen hoods of black;
midnight appointments with a rope,
a needle,
a bullet
or a chair,
count the time with patient confidence and simply wait.
As for the judgement hour, let him recall his view of life, of the world,
twelve years in the re-Making.
