Hello, I am immune to misfortune.
Virtue is sufficient for my happiness.
Passion is not my purview nor is
Crying over spilled milk or laughing
Like a horse my habitude. I guess
You’d call me a stoic and I admit
That the Enchiridion by Epictetus
Is one of my all-time favorite books.
So picture me in your mind’s eye.
Do you see an old man struggling
Up a hill or a beautiful young girl
Brushing her hair? Well, whatever
You see is a function your own
Hangups, not mine or anyone else’s.
