A good day for a poem by Tadeusz Rózewicz:
Your fear is grand
metaphysical
mine is a little bureaucrat
with a briefcase
with a file folder
with a survey
when was I born
what’s my livelihood
what have I not done
in what do I lack faith
what am I doing here
when will I stop pretending
where am I going
next
