Though I spit and fume, and bate against my jess,
To tear away impatiently to try and reach the sky,
I know it is because in joy I seem to have much less,
Than when I felt quite blest before my muse did fly;
And though I understand that to view things from the past
And compare them with the present will cause my sight to sway,
My problem lies in trusting in a future not quite cast,
When by comparison, it seems, all my hopes have flown away.
So for poetic reasons now I rage against my fate,
For I know my pain is true, since based on what I see,
Though somewhere deep within, within my heart at any rate,
I still maintain a hidden part that waits on what could be.
Thus one Bernoulli multiplies his value with his gain,
While the other one doth lift my wings in sun or pouring rain.
