his (or her) troubles—
but he (or she) does not count

If he (or she) counted them up
as he (or she) ought to—

that every lot has enough happiness
provided for it. . .”

If I wake up in the morning and don’t feel great—

to make things work better—
rather than just falling into that deep hole—
because then you just go deeper and deeper. . .”
