Worst or Least

You go on, no matter what, you try to stay alive, Maintain yourself, keep steady, At least keep wary of your worst or least self, Then check for the newspaper every day And resolve to answer the mail, if any... What difference does it make If your workshop has been condemned Or your latest project has been long delayed And now is mired in an impatient series of dilemmas That overlap your petulant dreams And elbow each other out And never resolve or stop.
