STATISTICS
Take note this week
of all the things you talk about
which comes up the most often
and why.
Chart a graph
and examine the rankings
food, love, work, happiness
where do they fall?
Is the one you spend the most time discussing
also the one you spend the most time doing
and if so
is it truly what you want
your number one to be?
DIFFERENCES
Sometimes you’re up
on a rotating stage
with a crowd of thousands
bathed in light
chanting together
your name
your name
your name.
Other times you’re in bed
earlier than usual
covers tucked,
and warm like a child
not a sound but your heartbeat
all alone and wondering.
And both are good.
DAILY
The hardest trick to learn
is how to be relaxed and happy
while you are grinding away
at the job
that will eventually afford you the luxury
of being relaxed and happy.
