Experiences: Pragmatics

When I concluded
That all I need do
Is attend to
What needs doing,
At first, I thought,
‘How mundane,
How simple!’

But quickly changed to
‘This is not so,’
For what it takes
To sustain this fragile existence
Is often quite challenging and interesting,
Although at times
It can also be
Unbelievably onerous and staggeringly dull!

But when I
Adopt this
Straightforward philosophy,
I feel such a sense of relief,

I can just
Get down to business,
Take a practical approach
Over which I lose no sleep,

And if I stick to it
It gives me
The kind of focus
I so often lack,

Which produces
A deep level of concentration,
As I only need
To look at what
Actually needs doing.
It makes choices so much easier,
As pragmatics are all I need to consider.
