I was what I am not today
The long day of my life stretches on:
Soon the dusk will fall and then
The night will also be gone;
I wonder about the change wrought
Or rather brought about by the years
Was it perception and thought
That dimmed and stopped the tears

Is it my id
That did what it did
Or was it my cortex
That lost itself in a vortex?
