Just Do It

I just did it and then,
after a while. I found
I couldn’t do it anymore…
so then it was done, and
it seemed in retrospect
that having done it made
very little difference…
that whatever had seemed
so important about it was
just a myth that vanished
like smoke into space….
the only point seeming to be
that, having done it, I never
had to do it again.
