MY MYTHICAL KING OF BABYLON HE did not Retaliate. I threw curses at Him and shook My clenched Fists, Raised My Hands in agony....., my body was trembling! ! ! Tears of Fate dripped by wetting My Taut, self-Respected cheeks....... I got beyond myself Anger slowly boiled over into Vapors of self-pity, till it rained, rained heavily....... ....till the pitter-patter stopped and it became Warm again. He Might have shaken his Head, You Know........ Maybe With Time, he, too Ages..... Ages Like Solomon. He May Once have Spoken in Wrath, once Threatened soundlessly..... He, too, may have been beside himself with Annoyance, With Arrogance... But the Raised Arm Never Remembered Coming Down..... You Know My Friend, I Feel He, too, let It Boil Over till It Rained Unknown To the World, unknown to me..... Maybe at the end of Time, both our clouds Will rain together to supplement that single Ocean For He, ...HE did not Retaliate............
