Vita


			It's journey is, generally,
			A straight line,
			But the slight rises
			And falls of that line
			Are felt to be
			Dizzying heights,
			Or cavernous depressions.
			Sometimes, it races
			Ahead of itself,
			Sometimes it falls behind.
			But, eventually,
			It will return to its proper place
			On that lengthy staraight line.
