Never Done (a kyrielle)
Another day, another week, month, year
Since I was born the end was always near
Only recently I've become a grump
Surely by now I'd be over the hump
I've eaten roughly 40,000 meals
The hole in my stomach time doesn't heal
Swallowing pride will end up at the dump
Surely by now I'd be over this hump
God I hope everything's downhill from here
I'm too exhausted for rational fear
Maybe the other sides a cliff to jump
Surely by now I'd be over this hump
Maybe this straight lines a rotating wheel
Centrifugal force is aging we feel
Each stress manifests into a new lump
Surely by now I'm over the hump
