52. ASSIGNMENT

ASSIGNMENT
I'm not startled
I'm not aghast:
As things return, I
remember they've passed.
I'm not obscure,
I'm not obtuse -
most anything will do,
when I need an excuse.
I've been told of snow
that never stops falling -
higher than windows,
doors and railings.
It's all the same,
as I look about -
amidst my failings,
amidst my doubt;
I want to know
what's left to do.
Once you tell me,
I'll leave it to you.
