DENIAL
It never would have hurt God
To have made the world today
So that your footsteps turned my way,
So that our two paths crossed—
But I went wearily up and down
The streets of the empty-painted town
And a whole day was lost!

Never your footsteps where mine trod,
Never my words to you—
And it all would have been so simple for God,
So slight a thing to do!
