You can’t dodge the pain
You can’t get it right all the time
Make a fool out of yourself trying…
It’s OK.
Soon you’ll recognize that sinking nudge to run
the other direction. You’ll get familiar with
balls of lead in your mouth, the gravel in your throat.
That’s a good place to ask – Why?
Life grows wild through clarifying questions
Adventures barrage through the stench of cants
An impossible dream becomes an uneasy destination
Unbutton those ears – you’ll arrive somehow
Breathe as you fumble – it is well
Your days come served as ordered.
