The only care
That I shall share
Shall be the care of others,
And on the road
I'll halve the load
Of overburdened brothers.
I rather guess
It's selfishness
That drives me to such actions,
For in this plan
I find I can
Forget my own distractions.
—John Kendrick Bangs
@postal_poet The sky was on fire / When I walked to the mill / To take up the slack in the line. / I thought of my friends / And the troubles they had / To keep me from thinking of mine.
