I dilute my life by various means
Remember my warning
It is not always as it seems
I am the perfect example
Of a carefully calculated balance
Though the dilution is minimal

I dilute my life
Micro fluids at a time
Prefer say I
To alter my mind
Lacking the inclination
To engage life in its full splendor

My blood is thin
Lacking in luster
I will select dilution
As the only and perfect equation
A multi element and mineral combination
For the moment
The only logical solution

I am sure you are quite curious
What will be the conclusion
As I live tentatively in small amounts
Cut in to elaberate patterns
With a sharpened knife
I dilute my life
