it is
what it must be
and is itself
enough
it does
what it must do
because
it is
what it is
would you have it be
something else
what would it become
then
would it do a thing
some
any thing
that it didn’t need
to do
because of what
it had become
it would do
what it must do
all
that it must do
because
it is
and that
must be
enough
