Weekend and Years

Something happens in the midst of study
more important than study
that is not study

What usually happens
is you are thinking
that perhaps
you should be in Florida
instead of Chicago

That is a weekend

When you are forty you can think
twenty
When you are fifty you can think
thirty
When you are sixty you don't think
of years
