please direct the freighter
in another direction
I am not in the mood
for broccoli right now…
introductions are something
I struggle with — scrambling
around in my head, trying to
come up with some kind of
personal headline that sums
me up in a few sentences…
wish we could do away with
introductions all together
let things unfold
and let the work
and the action
speak for itself…
there’s no factory reset here,
no manufacturer’s warranty
you can trade your best assets
and testify to having some kind
of unique talent, but who
will believe you in the end?
no one can teach you
the correct formula
or give you some kind of
equation for success
we’re all lost in the wardrobe
of our greatest fears
no lions or witches
or ghostwriters here
I sometimes collect my
thoughts and ideas
and place them in wicker baskets
the head is a storage space for your brain
use it wisely and wear a helmet
