Running Things

Today 
I decided to give up 
Some of my 
Campaign -
Some of my insistence 
That all things adhere
To my 
Design. 
- my plan 
- my way 

Just some. Not all -

Just an experiment 
     In freedom 
Maybe I'm not 
     Running things 
After all 

Maybe some things 
Can 
Take care of themselves 
And not bother me 
     At all 
The drought 
Is a case 
     In point -
The garden gets by 
On much less 
Water 
There will be more gravel 
Fewer flowers 
Things change
The flowers that remain 
Looking all the more 
Precious 
And joyfull 
In the sun 

I have fewer years left 
And I'd rather not 
Take myself seriously 
When
I invent some new project 
Which -
I discover -
Doesn't have to 
Be done
