Hazy Acres

Same things happen 

Little shifts come from a choice

Why not get lost for awhile

Takes you to different levels of who you are

An edge tested with a bit more courage 

Applied to everything 

Reaching out to serve a need

Or cutting a grapefruit differently 

Turning down a road you know doesn’t go home

Choosing to ignore your intuition 

Wearing a shirt that doesn’t match

Saying hello to the neighbor cat who sleeps on the car 

Deciding not to qualify the reasons 

It’s also changeable 

We can become white collar 

Or never use our degrees to paint houses 

Even in the bad choices they can lead to good 

Although time will be spent 

Could be a waste 

Unless we find a way to position it differently 

In thought and moving upward toward the end 

We don’t have to be the same forever 

Feels like a prison 

Maybe the lettuce would be better in the oven 

And taking a beat before responding 

I see the benefits of playing in these spaces

Hard to explain to others who see you suffer in them

Another way to bond

In and out of limitations 

There’s a duty to be an example 

Saying nothing 

To just be and do and learn

Quite minutes to reflect 

Another day in a finite bag of days 

Wake and shuffle 

Light a ritual when it hurts to move
