Coping With Bad News

A great wonder Kim’s legs still carried him. A lot in Sam’s remarks still worried him: The Sam who’d been watching Dolly and Kim Right from the day Kim was trapped by The Slim! Sam’s bold comment on his adjudged folly; His saddling of self with the cries of Dolly… “How could one fund release to a non wife: On hard-to-catch dollars land wanton knife?” Some sort of magic Kim isn’t trembling Nor rapidly glimpsing a world crumbling. God has his heart been gingering plus gin, Although for three weeks now badly thin… Men there are who could cope with bad news, The plainest truth keeps treating like some ruse.
