Listen to poem:

You Do the Math

You Do the Math
David J Walker

Such is the cost of
Granting another day 
Travel another step away 
Down A longer path

You do the Math 
Scribbled and quibbled 
On every empty calendars graph 

Adding it up 
unable to take away 
Any day you have passed 
Any past with unresolved wrath 
You do the math

	Day by
Day
	By day
