Duḥkha arises with disappointment,
in circumstances beyond my control,
seeing events unfold, watching mistakes
arrive at my front door, the money spent,
packages of useful items like shoes,
parcels arrive, but do not fit, too small,
only my feet are no larger, sour grapes,
in the same vein, I become like a fox,
nothing ventured, nothing gained, still I lose,
the whole endeavor to solve the problem,
mentally takes its toll, a marathon
ends badly only if it's badly run,
no runner wants to race in old shoes, gone
to the dogs, duḥkha arrives with each box.
