Poem by Raymond Carver

I woke up in the morning with a terrible desire
to lie in bed all day long
and read. For a brief moment, I fought against it.

Then I looked at the rain through the window.
And I gave up. I surrendered completely
to the power of this rainy morning.

Would I live my life again?
Make the same mistakes?
Yes—if I were given half the chance. Yes.
