Poems by Robert E. Lee

ACCOUNTING

Sure, everyone is born to die physically one way or another, and that matters a lot. That’s very important, but not really. What’s really important is what you do in between. And sometimes you just do things as slick as possible because you see that it’s going to work.

But some things don’t happen the way they were planned and you have to take the loss. Nobody wants to take one, but we do have to accept it. Because sometimes a loss is not just a loss—it’s something you have to really account for. Maybe you’ve done something in the past and forgotten about it.

Because at that time you didn’t care much and put your attention on something else. Then, years later, it comes back and this time you can’t forget about it. You have to account for it.

Robert E. Lee

LINES

Lines are like a continuation which has a starting point. Maybe the line goes around and makes a circle. That means you get some type of experience, because you’ve been through it before.

Sure, things go your way— but sometimes, they don’t. When and if that happens, just make the line tighter.

Because that strengthens the line as it was in the start.
