my higher self

looks at me with resignation


oh well

didn't make it off

the Wheel of Karma and Destiny


this time

and who but the One knows when

that lifetime will be


well deep within

I also know and sweat every effort

to get my business straight


so I can look at all my temptings

with the detached glow of nostalgia

purring warmly at what can no longer do damage...
