When God dropped by last night he brought with him
A woman who said she was Annie Oakley. I have my doubts;
She was quite tall and had a marked Spanish accent;
Oakley was short and came from Ohio. Still, the woman
Had a pistol with which she shot off the tip of God's cigar.
God urged me to move for the time being into a box
Designed and built by Joseph Cornell. Ms. Oakley
(If that's who she was; I
suspect she was a miliciana
Weary of fighting in the Spanish Civil War) shook her head
Very slightly, so I declined though a chance to live
In Cassiopeia II would probably not come again.
