pass me the salt, dear

is there goodness

in everyone?

or do some lack compassion

and common

decency,

is there evil in the world,

(i believe there is)

or are we

all

in this together, depending

on the day

or circumstance

as to who shows up.

angel or devil, 

it's said

that even hitler would pass

you the salt,

if asked.

i've known

lovers like that.
