Context: Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
