Hee! At first, this poem struck me as boring and bit annoying. The "worries" seemed stupid and gratuitous. The parentheticals annoyed me. The language wasn't special and I couldn't really relate since the poem seemed written decades ago. But then with the turn in the last stanza, everything cleared and this formally groan-inducing poem seemed bright and cutely clever.
So no, I don't love it, but the ending surprised me and made me laugh. So it's pretty alright with me.
Favorite line: "I maybe could run out of things for me to worry about."
