How to Heal
1. Face facts and cancel that gig,
even though you think you might, just might, be able to make it.
2. Fix yr truck – about an hour a day should do it – if you give it a week.
3. Hang out in the shade with yr sketchbook.
Keep whistling back to the yellow chat – see if he ever repeats himself.
4. Fix yr fridge. Get help on this one.
The repairman will be a member of AARP.
Talk about everything. Get some laughs.
5. Watch the woodpeckers chase the squirrels off the suet.
6. Find something else to fix.
Then maybe yr ready
to write a poem.
