The release one feels from a friend’s embrace
Or from the entrance onto one’s newfound space
From the florid reply of a close, surprised friend
When you deliver the news of your difficulty’s end
The release one feels when all that is lost
Are the chains that you used to reduce life’s cost
The release that you feel in moments like these
Give you moments of pleasure from moments of ease
For the moments you wasted in self-absorbed shame
Are but chaff in the breeze of one’s newfound name.
