How Not To Overthink..... Poem by RIC BASTASA

they say
to be unhappy is
to overthink

do not overthink
that is the
key to the door
of happiness
with rusty door knobs
and dusty
doors you must enter
and

clean. You ask how not
to overthink

there is another door
to that door which
you have to open again and

once outside you
have to feel the rain
the mud and
walk away and step into

another world, walk
to that stretch of
road towards the
hill circling the bush

but only for
a while. When you
return

it will not be the
same again

you have changed.
