begrudge not
the time of others,
for this, too, shall be taken
from each, expected or surprised,
that from vast indifference
we have sprung
and so, shall return
thereto, with no pity, nor hate,
neither even
gratitude (if there could be such
a thing)
for it is the indifference
to our own fate
which might, eventually, make
all things, even this loss,
bearable
