Poetry
Being New
Take off the bookcovers
Turn them around
Lie on the floor
Read upside down!
Sing while shopping
Walk barefoot in snow
Talk to the birds
Walk up to a crow!
Be a bohemian
Whistle out of tune
Sleep in the daytime
Smile at the moon!
Carve new channels
Forge a new way
Take new footsteps
Every day!
Generate new thoughts
Breathe fresh air
Move in new ways
Dance without care!
Pay attention to now
Without pattern or guide
Look for the original
Create from the void.
