What you don’t need you don’t need to buy.
This plainly solves a riddle.
If you don’t ask what but only why
the solution presents no middle.
A need expresses itself clear enough
for without it you cannot live,
for life becomes more than only tough
in a way that necessities give.
Any waste is reduced to the basic work
of the body’s dealing with stuff
and not responding to every quirk.
Imperative need makes life rough.
