Planning, Paying Attention, and Resisting Temptation

What can or cannot be, if anything
Can be known with certainty either way
Or whether what we can or cannot know

Are among those things that we cannot know,
Among the certainties that cannot be,
Is, as is said, the heart of the matter.

Well, here’s an executive decision:
It doesn’t matter. It’s one of our games,
And maybe there’s a winning strategy,

And maybe there isn’t, but skyscrapers
Of planning keep rising. Pay attention.

No, nothing is not the same as no one.
Nothing cares if you resist temptation.
