Poem #48 for Gift Poem from Matthew Zimmerman

 

Try to change

not necessarily because it is needed

but because it is one life only

and there is already so much left unexplained

 

Rather than making lists of tasks

create one of gifts to get a friend

When you need the television

leave it off and

think of a story no network would dare to

 

Argue with someone

not to prove a point

but to exchange non-sexual passion

 

Convince yourself you have art within

then explore it

just once

in spite of how awful at it you know you are

 

Don’t get ready in the morning

play make-believe and

groom your new character

 

Make a point to give

something

whenever you receive

anything

 

There is such little, precious time left

so change

every single minute

and just see what happens

 

 

 

 

af
