We take pains not
only to avoid receipt,
but also to avoid the gift
of them. Which,
selfishly enough
is partly because
it's a blow to one's
competence. One's care,
one's good and earnest
will: to be not disease,
injury, nor even pill
We take pains to avoid
such pangs. Our rewards
storm in, and bear us away
in gangs
as they will.

If it looks like spam and contains a link, though, it will not be published. I will cherish it to myself, instead. Thank you!
