L'Affaire
Can it possibly be
She never took me seriously
Insouciant to the last
The farewell lightning-fast
A grenade takes ten counts to unload
A stick of dynamite awaits its wick to explode
But faster than a hummingbird beats its wings
A whirlwind tore through my heartstrings
Gone in a trice, the curtains barely fluttered
Out the window, nor hint nor reflection
On the street, neither indication, nor allusion ~
How to end an affair that escapes its conclusion
