The Correct Attitude


Except for a couple of hours
in the morning
which I passed in the company
of a sage
I stayed in bed
without food
only a few mouthfuls of water
ôyou are a fine looking old manö
I said to myself in the mirror
ôand what is more
you have the correct attitude
You don't care if it ends
or if it goes on
And as for the women
and the music
there will be plenty of that
in Paradiseö
Then I went to the Mosque
of Memory
to express my gratitude
