The price of sanity
of human regularity
to me seems elementary:
I cannot sleep so plentif'ly,
so cannot learn so handily
when I seek such wide variety
as is my possibility
here at the University,
but instead engage in frivol'ty
with another personality
and seek some commonality
in our place within society
to alleviate anxiety
that this will change eventually-
not go on for all eternity
(aware of our mortality)-
and we'll find some functionality-
beyond all this monotony-
and, with it, find tranquility.
