a wise person once said
what surprises me most
about humankind
is that we'd get bored
of our childhood
rush to grow up
and long to be children again
that we lose our health
to make money
and then lose our money to restore health
by thinking anxiously about the future
we forget the present
such that we live
in neither the present
nor the future
that we live
as if we were never
going to die
and die as though
we've never left
