Bread and Apples

So busy inside i am surprised when i look up

to see red in the west, when last i looked

it was red in the east.

Much accomplished in between – the bottom line, you know,

all of it to be rendered meaningless in time, and soon.

Yes, we were meant to work, but if i could,

I'd lift the roof

and watch the daily transit of the fabulous,

the golden apples of the sun, the silver apples of the moon.




–last line by Yeats.
