How many times can you tell yourself
all your mirrors lie
the dryer shrinks your underwear
the apology will come
things will turn round
the book will write itself?
Catch more sleep each night
Go easier on the ice cream
Stop waiting for Godot
Serenade yourself with song
Pump the music up loud
Dance, laugh, weep, remember
Then write it all down perfectly
in every imperfect detail
Here and Now
