Simple Math

I find myself putting end-dates,
roughly outlined, to certain
things I will, hopefully, can do
within the time I see them
being done.
                     I don't deny time
is subtracting from my future
as it adds to my past.
Second chances are becoming
fewer and fewer;
                            I need to see and know
more clearly that what I want is what
I can do.
              At no other time in my life
has Thoreau's mantra,
"Simplify, simplify, simplify" mattered more
as I seek less of what
is not worth doing.

-Byron Hoot
