Doing the math

A good belly laugh adds a minute.
A warm embrace, easily a whole day.
TV wastes years, so do tears.
Alcohol, cigarettes, digesting
things we can't pronounce, revenge and regret,
their price-I forget.

A day to do nothing but play, just wishes and kisses.
A few minutes with a poem, Hi-ho-Hum.
Working at Someones Expectations Inc.
(offers no benefits or retirement).

The sun.
The ocean.
Negative people.
Settling or stagnancy.

Let's see...
Plus or minus, more or less,
Failure, I mean Opportunity
I'm about even with karmic destiny.

This is totally life.
