  • No, I don't need to 
       sit down,
         take a fresh piece of paper,
           divide it by half,
             put down
              all the pluses and minuses of my life
    and think
      what I can possibly do 
         about the minuses...
    
    
    No, I don't need that kind of thing...
      for some of the global minuses
        cut my life in half
      the way the horizon line
        is cutting the world
          into the sea and the sky...
    
    
    The horizon line 
       is just there -
    one cannot do anything about it.
    
    
    One can like it
       or dislike it -
    it wouldn't care.
    
    
    It's just cutting the world in two -
      nonchalantly...
    
    
    It disappears
      when the Sun is set.
    During the night time
      you can't see it,
       but it's there anyway -
     you know that.
    And the fact
      does not change
    the real state of things.
    
    
    While in the mor-
     ning
      again
     you will see the world
       cut in two
    by one of your global minuses...
