I have never had a day
without access to sustaining food.
I have never had a day
without access to protective shelter.
I have never had a day
without access to other people
with whom to share love.
Though I strive for none.
It is manna from heaven,
ambrosia of the gods.
I have chosen at whim
to unavail myself of such access,
but it's always there.
So to all you strivers,
Do you really think the world
is so seriously messed up?
That’s just the way it is.
I, on the other hand,
Prefer life to its improvement.
