have nothing serious to fret--

did all I could to amend--

I'm glad I made it this far and no farther

happy the measure is complete--


                                                                             *

so much--

thought of you drains all strength
and I've no reason to believe

it could be otherwise--
pity the fool who worships

his imagination--he learns
hard that it torments

so much--

                                                                             *

for this moment I am free
but only because this moment has passed--


                                                                             *

think on it
and then     forget

your harrowing hasn't
happened yet--

                                                                            *

all best to believe--
and so easy

                                                                            *

such is the world

that visionaries found businesses
and that clerks run them into the ground

                                                                           *

no one misses you
after a while

     people should
be grateful

                                                                          *

again the fool
but I knew it

and I find
the irritation sweet

                                                                         *
