a simple plea

[TranquillityBase]

Hi TqB,

now all you need is an ending to match the beginning

you are ruthless 

I wonder if the plea isn't implied and whether you could cut the last three lines?

Alternatively ...

but also right.    I really think there are no more times to be had, so the definition line is a good end.

my dog barks incessantly

at the Egyptian geese

who’ve shown up to fill the void.

my wife doesn’t seem concerned.

she just wants me to be happy.

is this how things are supposed to end?

it’s okay, if so,

but a little definition would be nice.

you see, I've misplaced my life,

and not for the first time.
