Withdrawal Symptoms
So I’m not going to change the world after all
That’s okay; it was doing fine without me
The moon arose last night without my supervision
This morning the sun was up before I was
And, true, there are bad men and women about
But I didn’t do so very well myself
It’s better that I didn’t change many things
And better had I worked on changing myself
Age is aware of its own absurdity
And wisely it withdraws from messing things up
A cup of coffee now would be so nice
