Looking for a way-- to be me
not like I am now
A way to not have to survive
but rather thrive
Not to rush to work
like I am now
just so I can buy food
water, electri-
city, several flavors of gas
and the latest distraction
Rather I want
to labor over real work,
in love, paint, clay, words-- or any art
or just passion
even be it in-- just-- sitting still
like I am not now
so long as it is alive
a wonderland
I don't just-- wonder about
like I am now
To be a bird
eating the best seed and flying high
not stealing bread in a fast food drive through
like I am now
