Good for You

At this moment, you may be
Thinking, as you often do,
Whether this is good for you.

Is poetry good to read?
How much reading is enough?
Are you getting enough sleep?

Do you see the sun enough?
At any moment, you may
Catch yourself considering

Whether the moment is good
For you or because of you.
Are you conserving enough

Or helping others enough?
Are you serving righteousness?
Getting enough vitamins?

What a thermostat you are
Checking in on the moment
For any course corrections,

And, like a good thermostat,
You will keep doing your job
Whether or not the door’s shut.
