for four days and nights a battle raged
inside the body of mankind and in the end,
no one was the wiser that anything had
taken place at all between the two of them;
the devil knew it had no jurisdiction
and yet it persisted with its claims, hoping
to find a sympathetic ear or an open heart,
neither of which he even possessed but
in his arrogance and man's weaknesses
he knew he had arrived at the right time.
