Obsession,

Like salmon up the stream,

Or should I say dedication?

In a nation of accomplishing

ASAP (!),

When am I allowed to float

On my back

On the surface

of some body of water?

Or should I file my taxes

Before I forget and

Forgive me for acting

Against Washington.

He died because he didn’t want a common cold.

How efficient.

Have you ever forgotten your glasses

At dawn

And witnessed the beauty of the world

All fogged up,

And simpler?
