It might be easier to let the day
Go by unnoticed, and zone out the world.
But that is boring, and I cannot stay
Unthinking with my mental sails all furled
Indefinitely. No, I must go out
And seize some little portion of an hour
Planting my flag upon it with a stout
Definite gesture of my woken power.
I shall set forth and be the better man
Walking the earth awake and full of zest.
I will be all the good things that I can
And more - and I will better my own best.
All this tomorrow. Now I'll lounge and sleep
Until my herbal tea has done its steep.
