Had I the hours and the time for this
I might care more; right now, my mind is done,
And I care very little what I miss.
Of course there are some things I have begun
Which I'd prefer to finish, but today
I will not do so. No, today I sit
And watch the world pass by while I must stay
Doing this work as if I wanted it.
I am not empty, no, I am filled up
With vacuous yet space-demanding cares;
And every time I empty out my cup
The spout of problems fills me unawares.
So do not think my present disregard
Is permanent; but times right now are hard.
