Bad news - read Psalm 23
"The Lord is my Shepherd"
emphasizing "I Shall not Want"
humming Mozart's "Requiem in Pacem"
Brahms' "Oh Tod, wie bitter bist du'
solemn voice (RIP), sad faces.
Good news - nonchalantly throw
Tiffany diamonds, German cars
- no Rhinestones please
or inexpensive lemons,
turn on quietest subordinate
relentless pursuit of happiness,
such humbling gratitude.
