I tried to read the text
& it was like pulling teeth_
reason bored me to the tears
expected to be held back^
I longed to find simplicity
& joy simultaneously
but the words
contradicted both^
& so I* decided that
Marcus Aurelius
is not for me_ too much guilt
in the {NOT} reading^
I make a fair minimalist_
but I* a bad stoic
& have returned
to more important reading_
the poetry of Jim Carroll^

you* live & you* die //
why do you question?
everything* going as planned_
your destiny is pre-ordained_

is your best in the mean-time^
Why do you worry?
everything* as it should be_
even things unexpected
& shitty^
the universe isn* perfect_
nor are you_
nor am I_
everything* as it should be //
