I have decided Virginia Woolf may live
An additional twenty-five years
Beyond her suicide, the pond waters
Indignantly refusing to drown
A Glory of British Letters
Imagine her writing reviews of plays
By Angry Young Men or commenting
On Suez and Sputnik and leaving
Almost finished a brilliant jeu d'esprit
In which John Profumo awakens
In Hyde Park with Christine Keeler
And a demon who offers him
A gently used wish with a chip in it.
