Remembering Fyodor

“If you spend half your time

trying to change human nature

You’ll spend the other half

 being disappointed”

If you spend half your time

waiting for someone to love

You’ll spend the other half

waiting to die

If you spend half your time

questioning the truth in the answers

You’ll spend the other half

missing the point

If you spend half your time

following the tracks of another

You’ll spend the other half

— wondering why
