A Deadline or the Ultimate End? opus 328
| 22 March 2024 1600 Hours | | Aging, Conservation, Mortality |
I was negotiating with a colleague in Wyoming
About various time constraints
In order to finalize a conservation agreement.
Certain deadlines were raised
That we might reach a successful result.
I finally stated that with my age
And the unknown, relatively soon, inevitable end,
I was not able to work with mundane deadlines any more,
But rather, the absolute deadline of my very being.
Every thought and action, with this mindset,
Makes all things precious and meaningful,
Concluding in the best, timely way that one is able.
