DURESS
Oh great poet
There seems to be something you do not know
Otherwise why so many laments
Though artfully concealed
You have made from words?
Shall I tell you what you are missing?
There is only one thing
Joy
When someone mistakes it
Anything is bound to happen
Including these things
You have been forced to write
