I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

For I have known them all already, known them all—
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.

So far as we are human, what we do must be either evil or good: so far as we do evil or good, we are human: and it is better, in a paradoxical way, to do evil than to do nothing: at least we exist.

If I had more time, I would have written a shorter letter

Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
