hour 6 – hell

It will be not pyrotechnic but arithmetic:
the final tally,
what you’ve done, what you’ve failed to do.
Peering over dispassionate columns of unregistered evils,
it’s God, Peter Singer, and a bottle of whiskey
making good use     of heavy brass scales.
On one side, love – the other
a vast and colorless wasteland
of infinite regret.
