JUICE AND BREATHE

Juice that bunch of kale
And breathe the suburban morning
Because juicing and breathing are the only ways
To float yourself now.
You had that talk with self
Where the last recorded bit of dialogue reads,
« That wouldn’t be the worst thing, »
But how good is living life that’s
Not the worst thing at all ?
Leave a gun in the scrapbook drawer
And live from that tension.
If the world owes you comfort
You owe it change.
