i want to
live & i want to be
well.
it's time to
drop the passive,
conditional, & subjunctive
voicelessness &
summon the
imperative.
FOR ME,
IT'S GOING TO BE
HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
my body's vibrating with
joy.
there are so
many mountains to
climb, deserts to
roam.
only the mind has
doubts.
the mind that
obsesses over
this & that, worries
about that &
this
that rattles the
hands, tumbles the
belly, deludes the
brain with
fear.
but ready or
not, i'll be
RIDING MY
BODY UP OVER THE
HORIZON
LIKE A
RAGING
SUN.
