His good life is not my good life.

What he wants to do with his is no business of mine.

My good life is relaxed and folksy and connected and life

With lapses from this consciousness and thinking between the lines.

But yet we have something in common across space and time,

That is at least the longing and concern and desire and suffering for and the ideas of our good lives.
