Stop Trying?

You start trying to live
As soon as you’re told that you’ll die

With sufficient certainty that the doctors
Have given up—oh, then you start to try!

It takes so much trying to live
You don’t even realize how to just die,

Just notice what’s there on its own terms
Don’t try—be sunny if it occurs to you?

Can you relax but without the blues?
Notice what’s there on its own terms
