207. I WASTED TIME
Foolishly I wasted time.Time now wastes me cheerfully.
Unconditionally I wasted time.
Time now wastes me sovereignly.
I wasted time
Because
Time was heavily
Hanging on me,
My impotent shoulders.
Time wastes me
Because
Time knows that I am
An unimportant member,
A beggar in the universal family of beggars.
