What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?
I am hungry for self-expression
I want to make a good impression
I want to share thoughts, ideas
A poem is not the only panacea
Eager am I to write you a poem
My words must resonate rhythm
What I see is up to me
How I do that's up to you
What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?
Need something? Here's where to
Get that information (make it so
Smooth, you sound like Peter Lorre)
Who's Peter Lorre? Search, you'll see.
Tell us about the last thing you got excited about.
Ups and downs and sometimes sidewise
I bet you are so excited you can't walk a
Straight line. The narrow is hard to hold
For those of us giddy with excitement. I
Can hardly contain myself. I feel I needn't
Though maybe I should. Is it unseemly to
Show so much emotion. My cup, it runs
Over, if I may part with the cliche. Too
Much. Just enough. Oh it's perfect I bet.
What motivates you?
Sunshine in the morning
It's my early warning
This day's gonna be good
Nice days fuel a mood
Saltier weather is rough
For starters, it's tough
Getting a start, that is, hard
Put down your guard
It'll rain, it'll pour. You want
Sunshine to taunt you
It's your early warning that
This day is gonna be great
What do you love about where you live?
My home? A castle indeed,
Our home! Me, the queen,
And you, the king. We love,
We live. We, like turtle doves,
Enjoy each other. It's what
We see and do and say, not
Where we are. Though that is
Perfect, too. Perfect for us.
How do you plan your goals?
Serendipity plays havoc with any
Simple plan to attain any simple
Or any complex goal. It's an ample
Example. Random choices, many
Take you to places unexpectedly
Splendid. Meeting and exceeding
Your goal. Who knew, collectively,
That accidentally you'd be beating
Bigger plans and getting what you
Want, what you need, deserve. Do.
If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?
My wares, where? I carry them
On my cart and my back. I want
To open my shop. Envious, I am
Of Oram and Jonah, who taunt
Me with their square footage in
The new bazaar in Bahram Arag.
Their success is so marvelous in
Oh, so many ways but me, I gag.
Jealousy is green like bile, much
Like poison, it's hard to swallow,
Take it as you would a pill, crush
It and hold back your envy. Allow
No thoughts, call out, your voice
Ringing the sale of your wares.
You can brag that they're choice.
Peddling's an art as you're aware.
I carry my wares on my cart and
My back. I'm a peddler excellant.
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?
It's time to explore carry water, chop wood
Do you have the time? A lifetime, I should
Say. We have that to spare. All the time in the
World, time to explore and learn and also the
Time that is just ours, our lifetime that we make
Time for. I may be time obsessed or just take
The time to focus my time, my lifetime, on time.
Are we on time, or are we just spending time?
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?
Carry a good book, your cell
Phone, and some cash or a
Credit card. Flash an ID, too
To show just who you think
You are. It is much to carry.
Put it all in a small carry-all.
Describe your life in an alternate universe.
It isn't like we are lost.
Space is vast, so we are
Small. Specks really in
Time as well as in space.
Getting lost requires that
We go. Somewhere. We
Do not. Go anywhere that
Is. Out in space, a walk is
More like a fly. No gravity
To maintain our gravitas.
Zipping along, barely able
To take a breath. We have
Adapted to an atmosphere
Here. In space, which is vast.
It isn't like we are lost. Here.
Tamara, really
