Life is not too
short
for anything
except when it is
and then I am sorry
but for the rest
there is time and a
half
for all your mad
schemes
you can lavish a
decade on a petty grievance
and still come good
you can swallow down
coffee
bitter as gall and
thank the maker every time
for things other
than coffee
you can take three
turns
in wrong directions
to end up on the
right road
or read a dozen bad
books
without a permanent
taint
don't worry if
you're a wrong un
everybody loves a
reformation
and you can giveover
a good hour to
composing a poem
and not be the worse
for such idleness
because life is long
and interesting
unless it is not
for which I am sorry
Yes, Mikaela, yes.
