Worry
I remained worried
For quite some time—
About what to write on worry!
Mm…it means anxiety.
But how does this help?
Ah, yes,
It’s a foregrounding device,
Charged by emotions;
Foregrounds a problem,
Real or imaginary,
Demanding a solution.
Archimedes, Buddha and Einstein:
As we know,
All three had real problems—
Eventually solved.
But Montaigne’s problem
Was something different:
His life was full of terrible problems
Most of which didn’t exist!
So, what’s the moral of the story?
