It Does Not Matter
it does not matter
not now
not this time
it does not matter
there does not have to be tears
or even,
lost golden years
it does not matter
not now
not this time
dispense of your hurt
and forget about work
after all, for some time
it has rarely worked
it does not matter
James Garratt – May 2002
