I don't always manage to feel what I know I should feel.
Only very slowly does my thought swim across the river,
Weighed down as it is by the suit men forced it to wear.

What an advantage to have a soul that's inside out!
At least some verses get written.

The leaf won't return to the branch it left
Nor from its dust a new leaf be formed.
The moment, which ends as this one begins,
Has died forever.
The vain and uncertain future promises
No more than this repeated experience
Of the mortal lot and the lost condition
Of things and of myself.
And so, in this universal river
Where I'm not a wave, but waves,
I languidly flow, with no requests
And no gods to hear them.
