"This beautiful world of ours" Stevens called it--perhaps with a smidgeon of irony? The poem seems to allude to a few of its heavenly charms. I like its directness, sans flourish, just flatly stated little formulas, a few little ways of self-recompensing during your final endurance test on death row. I like the dry delivery. It only gets harder every step of the way.

@rachellandrumcrumble Lovely poem. Congratulations.
Thanks, Rajani.
My self-loathing peaks in the afternoon, but I feel your meaning.
Well, look how healthy you are!
Perfect
Nothing like lyrical self help!
Nice
