Should I be reassured
By the sameness of my days?
The deer, the squirrels, the crows
That eat the peanuts we sometimes
Toss into the yard;
The nightly walks, the glorious sunsets;
Time spent reading, writing, painting —
Is that enough, now that I’m old,
Or should I be seeking something new,
New friends, new destinations,
New horror stories in the news,
The latest TikTok or bitcoin scandal?
Life seems full, but is this just
Some high cholesterol diet,
All sweetness, and not enough protein?
