Conflict of Interest

Too sick and shivering to scribble?
No not yet. No not yet. Maybe now.

Like any other assignment set
By self for body to accomplish,

When body wants only survival
Or what may serve as means to save that,

Self is selfish in one way, body
Selfish in another. Self spurs on

Body to bother with trivia
That will not likely help survival,

But self has a point. Body may go on
Through bodies, self only as scribbles.
