Remain steadfast. Do not
have great expectations f
or yourself, but be ready
to rise on demand.
Heat things up. Let the air
above you waver with
irresistible smells. On some
days, you will just burn
for no discernible reason.
Chances are you are stuck
on something and need
a good shake up to clean
out your insides. Mediate.
Let life come to you.
Never stay down too long.
Jealous sidelong glances
at the microwave serve
no purpose. Be thankful
that you are not toast.
