Torn tendons. Torqued back./
Bruised wrist. Blisters. Bad eyes. Scouts,/
yard work, or marriage?
I confuse myself./
It’s a warm, pleasant day, yet/
I’ve stayed inside. Why?
Once upon a time/
my Sunday School teacher said: /
“Shape Up!” So I did!
You can’t expect me/
to live creatively if/
I must do fact checks.
OR
Don’t expect me to/
live spontaneously yet/
deliberately*.
*deliberately. adj. 1. Done with or marked by full consciousness of the nature and effects; intentional
My early life seemed always
to play the same old song.
I lived a decades-long phase
where I was told “You’re wrong.”
Everything I did or said
was corrected or changed.
It at last went to my head.
I felt foolish and deranged.
In my effort to change my life
I took another way.
I dumped corrective strife.
It seemed foolish to stay.
Now I see the truth of my strange and weird way:
I’m at last honest. Now I must be certain of what I say.
When you’re always wrong,/
perhaps you’ll learn to not speak,/
or check facts better.
I’ve watched her grow,up,/
spread her wings, fly, fly away!/
Can she suggest where?
Folks ask “What’s your dream?” /
If I don’t know, it may be/
that I’m living it.
