Today is a day like any other: twenty four hours, a
little sunshine, a little rain.
Listen, says ambition, nervously shifting her weight from
one boot to another---why don't you get going?
For there I am, in the mossy shadows, under the trees.
And to tell the truth, I don't want to let go of the wrists
of idleness, I don't want to sell my life for money,
I don't even want to come in out of the rain.
---from Black Oaks, by Mary Oliver
