Admission – 11th September 2025

~ shaun tenzenmen

Shared with dVerse – Tolstoy’s birthday and using this quote as inspiration

“Can it be that I have not lived as one ought?” suddenly came into his head. “But how not so, when I’ve done everything as it should be done?”

The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy

The round pegs fall right through.
I wanted to be like that, too.
Step right into the queue
where I got to be just like you.

But not enjoying it,
this square peg didn’t really fit,
and so alone I sit,
out of step,
out of whack,
preferring my way, I admit.
