Busy hands set off each day
The heights and nadirs of the way.

Mullahs and tinkers muse and toil.

Is life at birth a Rubik cube
That little hands must figure out
And death a moment in a tube
From which the night may shimmer out?

I will not mull in lonely bed.

Nature will surely for the soil
Simplify me when I'm dead. (February 2002)
