Why so sad?
You woke up.
Is that not
wonder enough?

Why hurry?
The world
propels you
at bullet speed
already.

Why not pause?
Take a break
take off your shoes
feel the concrete
and imagine
how much better
earth and grass
would feel.

Find earth and grass.
Feel again.

Why not laugh?
Let flawless
beautifully flawed
unadulterated
explosions
of childhood
erase every no,
every don't,
every why.

Why not play?
No really,
why the hell not?

Why not
walk an afternoon,
talk to a stranger,
call an old friend,
dance the pavement,
giggle,
smile,
swoon,
shine...

...sing.

Why do you speak?
You should sing.

Why do you walk?
You should dance.

Why do you read?
You should write.

Why push the envelope
when you can open it?
