Resignation

RESIGNATION:

1. A truce with ourselves in order to give us time to bury our living.
2. Pride walling itself up.
3. To keep shop without a show-window.
4. To go to sleep in the lap of the inevitable.
5. A covered walk to the interior of ourselves; a subway to some other form of trespass; a peephole into the enemy's fortress.
6. To play possum when one hears the footfall of Fate on the stairs.
