It occurs to me that if I were today die, some people would say:
"It was sad, man, he wasted his life. He could have done so much more."
I can hear a voice saying this, and I laugh to myself.
So much more of what, and for whom?
This world is not worth it.

It’s a good one.I admire in poetry what often bores me in prose – economy and simplicity.That’s far too general a statement to stand up for very long under examination, but I certainly admire the simplicity of this poem.
