why would you want to if you can't?

you read too many inspirational books--

you put too much faith in soap bubbles--

if ashtrays can't fly and lampposts can't dance

what (but your own vanity) makes you think

the Universe will fall into place

around your visualization--here's a news flash--

have you tried just rolling up your sleeves

and dealing as it is with the matter at hand?

amazing idea--isn't it?--

just plain old 'doing' and not waiting for

a specific outcome--

oh meditate on it--if you must--

but not too long--happenings

happen and are gone sometimes before

you even know there was a decision--

that you even had a choice--
