Be Daring
Spend your days in bathtubs filled with pruny prunes
(Because bathtubs are warm, and usually housed inside small
rooms)
Walk single file lines on the edges of streets
(But only if your balance is, like, really good)
Write love letters to people you don’t even like
(Please, never send these)
Visit exotic, far-away places with names like Svalbard,
The Confederated States of Micronesia,
and Lord Berkeley’s Knob
(Or just read about them)
Quit your desk job to replace the ailing "Little Mermaid" at
your local theme park
(No, don’t do that.
The bra is far too small.)
Perhaps just sit.
Find a comfortable chair, weathered and soft as any petal.
Breathe.
Write something true.
(No, that would be too daring)
