Be normal
Be kind
Of normal
Don’t kill
Time just
Maim it
Make mistakes
Big mistakes
Over and over
Get a grip
Go for a walk
Gather stones
Say a prayer
Recite a poem
Express doubt
Split hairs
Throw fits
Skip stones
Take a chill pill
Better yet
Take two
Pet hares
Not porcupines
Count sheep
Shake a leg
Dodge a bullet
Carry a tune
Make mistakes
The same mistakes
Over and over
You can’t
Be normal
You’re a poet
