As I have grown older, my tolerance for superfluous stuff
Has taken a nosedive, it seems to be enough
For me to spend two minutes, then patience I lose
If I smell nonsense, I reflexively choose
To disassociate myself from it, I believe
There are many worthy issues in life that should receive
My attention, which is already in short supply
Therefore I am intentional, I want to apply
My time and attention to the real deal
It frees up mental space and makes me feel
Calmer, slightly saner in a world that seems to be
Bent on driving me to the edge of insanity..
