Vanish the will to contend with the problems on my plate,

for my fate is written, and solutions just appear -

fearful or benign. I incline the focus of some gentle

attention to diurnal matters of less import.

I'm brim full of misery and despair - staring

ahead, half dead to the world, knowing I'm becoming

a dummy - useless for conversation, and inept

for attempting to contend with social life in general.

The intention to write a magnificent masterpiece

was easily formed, and could just as easily fade.

I've made a mess of life, which merely consists

of a list of unfulfilled (impossible) plans.

     A period to watch aloof begins,

     whilst others race within a world that spins.
