Just last week I got
hit by another falling
bottle of fine wine
and woke up the next day
covered in party favors!

Boy, they sure seem to
never slow down.
I had an invite once,
to come up and join them,
but I second guessed it,
stayed home
and watched celebrity poker.

Maybe I should have taken that
chance though.
I’m too passive to get in the flow though
and just get up and go!
I get caught up doing what I always do.
Never setting foot outside just doin’
the things I always do.

They’re always laughing and smiling,
never having worries,
that hold you back,
keep you down,
lay you flat.

The inviter told me that
it’s like hearing your
favorite joke
for the first time,
over and
over
and over again.

Or maybe it’s like sleeping
out on a camping trip,
waking up
morning light,
warm,
hitting your face,
opening your eyes to the
deepest,
cleanest,
mountain breath
your lungs have ever tasted,
and you smile and realize
that this is a moment
you’ll want to live
1,000 more times!
