As every angel knows the reason God
Remembers everything is that what He forgets
Never existed. For this reason the savvier members
Of Heaven's hosts mutter their own names sometimes
If they think He's listening and add, perhaps,
A detail or two: "Palaliel; the humorless one
With one blue-green wing and one red,
Trimmed with pale grey rosettes who,
At Your behest, destroyed one-third of Nineveh"
