It Is Another Long Walk To Life



do not mismate
your shoes. try fitting
in what fits you.

tie the lace.
stamp your feet.
tighten your belt.
stand up.

comb your hair.
wear the warmer shirt.
take the cap
and put it on your head.

smile in the mirror.
take the watch.
wear the white socks.

eat the banana.
and wear the Ipod.
sounds of chappel
in your ears.

it is 6: 05, now
you are ready for
the usual walk
at the oval this
morning. The leaves
of the trees and
grasses are still
rich with their
dews. The sunrays
are slowly coming.

the air is fresh
scented with
the smell of the
rice paddies.

good morning.
