Sweating the Small Stuff

When you’ve lost something, or
you have a portion of importance
taken from you.  Oh, it’s nobody’s
fault but yours.  You can’t carry

everything.  The world.  Is pretty
heavy.  And it can be such a downer,
so maybe it’s not a good idea to dwell
on such things.  Except what if you

lost something that you can’t live
without, a piece of yourself that,
without its existence, in its proper
place, part of your circuitry, a piece

without which makes you less, sure,
but might lead inevitably to your dis
continuance?  Or if a teardrop of the
gas that runs your soul, should you

have one, without which....  Without
which... ....  Name something that
is useless without me.  Someone.
Anything.  Without which.... ....?
