Ascetic violence
What I have worked for--
for what have I worked?
What I have worked for will be
as valuable as its mode of attainment & less
so for every moment since expired.
For what have I worked will be
the converse appraisal--every
achievement
will die & be
afforded the bright valuation of the
since expired.
What I have worked for is the cursory—
for what have I worked, the concomitant curse.
