day ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY EIGHT

Just As Long As I’m in This World

Is there anything else I can do

to relieve this nagging sense

of regret mixed with a touch

of fear of the unknown future?

Maybe I should see someone.

But I feel like I know too many

people already. They crowd

my daily life—I feel I am too

infrequently completely alone.

But this sinking feeling I have.

I think I need to do something

about it. Maybe it’s just what

all of us feel. Or maybe it’s a

genetic thing. Maybe I should

listen to more blues records—

“I am the light of this world.”
