207. I wasted time

```

Foolishly I wasted time.

Time now wastes me cheerfully.

Unconditionally I wasted time.

Time now wastes me sovereignly.

I wasted time

Because

Time was heavily

Hanging on me,

My impotent shoulders.

Time wastes me

Because

Time knows that I am

An unimportant member,

A beggar in the universal family of beggars.
