Molly Peacock, Cornucopia: New and Selected Poems 1975-2002 (New York: W. W. Norton, 2002): 201.
1What awful thing will I take on
2because you've asked? I can't say no.
3Too hard to ask? It's only one
4more awful thing that I'll take on
5and do it all until it's gone,
6except the thing will never go.
7What awful thing will I take on
8because you've asked? I can't say no.
