positive friction
Posted: September 23rd, 2021, 10:00 am
I want to be positive
carry the real world like Atlas
on my stooping shoulders, spin it
on the tip of my finger like a Harlem Globetrotter
spinning so fast, so complete, it feels less miserable,
because I understand the power of a single negative thought ....
It takes practice, an ability to draw comparisons
from drawing art, one turn toward gratitude
for all that is going well
is equal to one painting that you really like
a keeper....
perspective perspective
such a slippery eel
it really can slip right through your fingers
wriggle back to the sea
where the opaque water
hides your intentions
doesn't give you a clear view
and your thoughts get murky
you may feel overwhelmed at times....
extracting a ounce of good
from a mountain of plastic litter
can be a real bitch
it's Battle Royale....
but a fight worth fighting
