Minutiae
Focus on the unimportant;
Fret about the fluff.
Then your mind’s too busy
For the really scary stuff.
Concentrate on clothes to buy,
Colors for your paint;
Then thoughts of mortality
On consciousness won’t taint.
Little aggravations can
Monopolize attention;
Thus the bigger issues stay
In places we don’t mention.
We are all much better off
When we can agonize
About the daily trivia
That serve as a disguise.
For underneath, such terrors lurk
Which take away your breath.
Let’s worry ‘bout a wedding –
There’s no time to think of death.
