contents We study dispersive decay for non-autonomous Hamiltonian systems. While the general theory for dispersion in such non-autonomous systems is largely open, it was shown \cite{kraisler2025time} that there exists a time-periodically forced one-dimensional Dirac equation with unusually slow dispersive decay rate of $t^{-1/5}$. It is to be expected that such behavior is not generic and requires a very particular forcing term; we provide a more general ansatz and systematic procedure to construct such an equation with a dispersive decay rate no faster than $t^{-1/10}$. Our limitations are purely algebraic and it stands to reason that arbitrarily slow decay, $t^{-\varepsilon}$ for every $\varepsilon > 0$, should be achievable.
