LAZINESS
I do not care to work today
for laziness has defeated me again
and I sit upon my mattress
and feel my body’s heaviness
as if the whole wide earth
cannot contain me
nor ever can the sky.
I perceive the good as evil
and glance down once
and then towards the sky.
Despite this stupid world I live in,
I wish I could just once
live fully and never die.
Manolis Aligizakis
