Waste not then
this time, or voice.
If days are
to be numbered
there shall not be
the need to pursue
a formula or quotient
within this
laden cornucopia of
milestones or
misgivings.

Whither not
beneath the burden
of overt indiscretions
or shortcomings.
Your being, lacking not
in the unboundedness of
empathy, diligence
and devotion,
will sustain the
occasional deluge
of self-doubt.

Want not, for
perceived abundances
sold to you by commerce,
Christianity or
self-help
infomercial icons.
Are you not already
enough? Instead look at
at what exists, and
all that
has survived.
