When Fate deigns I drop my body
and leave it by the side of the road,
does not also this world and all its
accoutrements dissolve
How strong must the force of my karma
be that I would return and pick up
where I left off
Will the art of sitting-still-and-doing-nothing
ensure my exile, as I would not wish to
repeat this consequence, but to reconcile
with my Creator, a penitent prodigal,
for alas I have not yet the exalted skills
of the one who created me
