Hi, this is one of my favorite poems, but I can't seem to find it printed anywhere. If anyone can find the complete version, please let me know 
"Someday" Christopher Smart(?)
Someday soon I'll have to live up to my responsibities,
Someday soon I'll have to live the way they want me to,
Reality will have to appear in my life cold and unforgiving...
Sincerely, aua

The only Christopher Smart I know was the eighteenth century religious poet who went mad and wrote enormous poems about his cat Jeffrey. Is this a parody/imitation of him perhaps?

I'm not sure, I am familar with the Christopher Smart that you mentioned, Could it be a different poet with the same name perhaps? I'll still be looking...
Sincerely, aua
