CLUMSY
If you don’t mind being clumsy,
you can learn the dance. Yes.
You might worry about critics
off to the side – along the walls –
or still sitting at their tables – but
you’ll learn the shifts and slides
of the dance – or you’ll get your
suitcase up to the fourth floor
when the elevator doesn’t work.
You’ll have night wear for the night
and a clean shirt in the morning.

IMPROVISED
Sometimes the most interesting part of life
is to improvise – to fix things on the run –
to get it done with what we have at hand.
Grey duct tape helps, So too imagination.
So too experience along with the ability
to laugh at our own creations. They need
a speaker on the spot. Here I am, gang.
Here l am. So too a broken window. So
too a broken toilet seat or venetian blinds.
Was that God’s method on the six days
of creation. And it was good. Good!

NO
Just two letters –
in this very short word ….
A word that can say so much….
It could be a
“No” to a marriage proposal ….
“No” to another drink ….
“No, I don’t want to go.”
“No!”
Sometimes it all depends
on just how we say it.
Sometimes it all depends
on how another knows us.
“No!”
You still don’t get it.
“No, I know exactly what I’m saying.
“Yes, but I know
exactly what you mean.”
“No, you don’t.”
“Yes, I do.”
“No!”
