LV

JOHN JAMES:

"I was at home

during that time.

Alone and lying

on my bed,

On that tragedy,

way past nine,

Had so many things

in my head."


LVI

His stiff stance remained

all through out.

He did not move

nor shed a tear.

He spoke so soft,

was never loud.

Or was he all set

to be here?


LVII

PARAGON:

She tried to see

if he would blink.

If any mood

from him would swing,

And see if she would

win the trick.

"And what were those

so many things?"


LVIII

But then

there was no difference.

His action's,

emotion's the same.

Like one

of those belligerents,

Only silently

fighting tame.


LIX

JOHN JAMES:

"Things that concern

how I must look.

Things that concern

the sport I play.

Things that concern

school and my books.

What else

do you want me to say?"


LX

PARAGON:

Unmoved,

but then her eye had twitched.

She felt all remorse

and pesky.

She then calm,

but at him she hissed,

"With all you said,

where was Mary?"
