For action that is drastic.
Her fortitude's fantastic--
Immutable, not plastic.
She calms my trepidation
With calm elucidation,
Can stop my consternation
With timely information.
"A testing of the tether
That's holding us together
Is not a sign to sever
Involuntary fetter.
There's no evacuation
Of our association.
Please halt the contemplation
Retarding link duration."

ReplyDeleteI like how both characters receive equal time here....I kept thinking of the language of emergency. This is just a test....no need to panic.
