it seems harder each morning
to get up off the ground
the sun, of course, makes me
lighter, dries the damp feelings
a nice moment with another person
gives buoyancy and lift
what seems critical though
is to reduce ballast
dump the mental loads, the luggage
of worries, the heavy dirt-sack futures
I want to start each day cheerful,
don’t you?
I’ve no need to fly, the weightlessness
of a bubble is enough
and there’s no need to be somewhere
just floating up and anywhere
