sick
not exactly
in bed roaming
living
room kitchen couch
and again
and not alone
wife son
worry
work
where it left
off tomorrow
return
if well
if not well
repeat same breathing
exercises through
handkerchieves
repeat with son
wife with
love
luxury
without snapping
for another week
the rest takes
care
of itself
--
Bob Marcacci
Most men, even in this comparatively free country, through mere ignorance
and mistake, are so occupied with the factitious cares and superfluously
coarse labors of life that its finer fruits cannot be plucked by them. Their
fingers, from excessive toil, are too clumsy and tremble too much for that.
- Henry David Thoreau
