Who would want to paint a dead rabbit?


Life and time... and seconds and minutes and hours

Days and months and years.
Ages. Generations.
Ancestors and Descendants.
Lineage.
Marking time.
Making time.
Living the time you've got
Instead of wondering about tomorrow.

But I am not self-righteous.

I do not pretend to know how
Or live without wasting time.
I am just the same as you.
I try
and sometimes I fail.
I fail more than I succeed.
But when I succeed
I am happy.
And sometimes I am happy when I fail
Even.
(But only sometimes.)
Because sometimes it is not so bad to fail
I think.
Sometimes.
At least I tried.

Try, try, try.
Life is trying—
All the time.
Life and time.
And trying.
