Greatpoets is on a killer streak. Here's another-- it makes me think of Andrew and a conversation we had where he said he'd count his life a failure if he lived in Vancouver the rest of his life. Also he has a spoilt cat but not, I think, a dull life. Who's to know with anyone else though?:

Apologia

My life is too dull and too careful -
even I can see that:
the orderly bedside table,
the spoilt cat.

Surely I should have been bolder.
What would biographers say?
She got up, ate toast and went shopping
day after day?

Whiskey and gin are alarming,
Ecstasy makes you drop dead.
Toy boys make inroads on cash
and your half of the bed.

Emily Dickinson, help me.
Steve, look up from your aunt.
Some people can stand excitement,
some people can't.
