The Man Who Was Alone

nothing bad ever happened
to the man who was alone
for everything he thought
he thought of on his own
and if he wanted to be happy
he'd only have to think about
everything he had
of which he couldn't live without
but if he wanted to be sad
all he'd have to do
is think of what he had
and what little that he knew
