into the strenuous briefness
whether
you view it
like a rocky
river emptying
tons of water
into
the
sea
or
a caravan
of a hundred men
on perspiring camels
slowly passing
a gorge
of sand
for the
next
patch
of
grass
or even
a tortoise
trapped in
a puddle of hardening mud
left by the ebbing tide
sets
on a long journey
by land to seek
the ocean, tracing,
sniffing salt
in the air
life
pushes itself
till tomorrow is
yesterday
rolly
(This is an old poem I did in Arlene's compueter at Richmond, Canada probably in 2001 or 2002. I don't recall how but this was inspired by e e cummings. I think the title is an e e cummings' poem's first line.

sir, you're right...tomorrow is inevitable. minsan lang, sa sobrang bigat ng problema, parang ayaw mo nang dumating ang bukas. i've been there, but no matter how difficult things seem to be, i forge on and try to get out of the mess as quickly as possible...haaay, the things that we have to go through!
joyce Joyce, guess what? These problems make living interesting. As long as we maintain a positive outlook and solve them one at a time, not taking each one as a heavy burden, we'll be doing okay.
