nothing really matters

in your daily living

but sustenance...


so playing mean

and being all hard-scrabble

about it is the world's M.O.


but if you can keep sweet

about it and and not let

the others take too big


a bite of you then maybe...just maybe...

you won't deceive yourself

with a fantasy of blessings beyond


what you've gotten for yourself...

you could short-change yourself

but never short-change the cosmos....
