other than
Juggling all the little glass balls
holding the “shoulds”
and “ought tos”
i have to do to keep Peace at home
while i
Run around
and do all i’m
“supposed” to do
and
tap dance
on the lid of the Pit
where i keep the
Things i don’t want to (can’t?) deal with
my life’s no different than anyone else’s
