Dreaming Like Du Fu

I feel like Du Fu
On this cold wet day.
I should be immersed 
In my studies,
I should be seeking
Advancement of some kind,
But all I want to do today
Is drink tea and read poetry
And dream
Of retreating into the mountains
Where I'd sing sad songs
To the trees and water
Living in an unsatisfied 
State of longing.
