She laid in bed thinking of yesterday.

She turned left and thought about tomorrow. 

She turned right, annoyed she was still awake.

She turned on her stomach and wondered why.


Why work for money to spend to work more?

Why prolong life when it ends regardless?

Why must joy always come before sorrow?

Why build what inevitably crumbles?


These are hard for her to answer.

Yet, she has a way to cope with it all 

There is a method to cure this madness.

A step by step formula for success.


First, she has a cup of yogurt to eat. 

Then, she streams a new show with good reviews.

Finally, she crafts a long to-do list.

Philosophy bows to her simple ways.
