This poetry Friday contribution sums up a lot of the conflicting feelings in me of late. ’nuff said.
A MAN SAID TO THE UNIVERSE
A man said to the universe:
“Sir, I exist!
“However,” replied the universe,
“The fact has not created in me
“A sense of obligation.”
Stephen Crane (1871-1900)

that is a great post for Poetry Friday Susan! 🙂
And Happy Weekend to you!
I LOVE IT!
I might just put that on my userinfo…
I love this! Thanks for posting it.
I love that. Although it has reminded me of one of my favorite jokes, which I will share with you, since you seem to need one:
René Descartes walks into a bar, sits at the bar, and orders a beer.
The bartender, noticing that his beer is low, says “Another beer, M. Descartes?”
He says, “I think not.” And disappeared.
I forgot to tell you how great it was to get this joke on a day that yes, I really needed it.
I hope things are looking up for you.
