So…
What would I do
different and differently?
Well…
I’d learn to read music
so I could really sing
I’d learn to hold the racket
so I could really play tennis
I’d stop using poverty
as an excuse
I’d learn to be more comfortable
around people
I’d learn how to fix things
that need fixing
I’d learn how to be
a better lover
I’d get more sleep
I’d learn how to stop
thinking all the time
I’d stop
being lazy
and
and
and
on and on and on
but then
now that you’ve
brought it up
there’s that other list
of things
I wouldn’t change
for the world
finding
the love of my life
early and forever
the joy of motion
the joy of food
the love of teaching
and learning
of reading
and writing
the world
and everyone
and myself
and knowing
you
dear reader
you
