Once I got everything I wanted

ONCE I GOT EVERYTHING I WANTED (E A D G B E) 

Once I got everything I wanted and the world disappeared. I held my hands in front of my face. They looked so unattached. I tried to count the things I’d lost that would not come back.

 

Once I got everything I wanted I thought I was done. I sat so still I thought I was a rock and wondered why things were stale. I threw myself in the river but I didn’t sink. I just set sail.

 

Once I got everything I wanted I knew how wrong I’d been. And as long as I think I know. As long as I think I’m right. I’ll continue be disappointed because the great square has no corners. No corners. No corners.
