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.

List 30 things that make you happy.

I have stopped punctuating
My text messages. Periods
No longer enclose thoughts
Thoughts run on expecting
Collisions with new thoughts
Avoiding the expectations 
Exceeding them Renewing
What can be said or heard or
Read Reading more into my
Expectant effusions Effusing
Effusively enthusiastically 

Describe one habit that brings you joy.

Joyful am I and gratitude fills
My heart with awe and with
Appreciation. It's joyful noises
That I make in a burst of awe.
Applause is how I show my 
Appreciation for the grace of
Performance done well and
To the opportunity to witness
Your craft, your skill, the talent
You have brought to turn an
Ordinary day into an art-filled
Joy-filled, heart-hugging event 

What are you curious about?

You, you have caught my attention
And piqued my curiosity. What is it
You do? Why are you going so fast? 
Is there a race in your mind to which
I remain uninvited? Where is it you go?
Are you in a hurry? Silly question. 
You are. Speed slowed automobile
Development. It was a distraction. 
Are you distracted? Am I? Why so
Fast when slow will get us there too?

What are you curious about?

As I got older, I was forced to go 
Slower, slow can be fast enough
If slow let's us see the trees for 
The forest, the forest for what it
Is. Slow down the song advises,
You move too fast, it says. Wise.
The Beatles I think. Wise advice
For the wisdom of age. Time is 
To be explored. As we get older
We have less of it and more of it
Too. Curious. Go slow see more
Seymour, you should be more. Be
There soon, or sooner or later. Is
It soon enough to go slow but 
Fast enough to see all we need
To see to learn to witness to be.
Slow can be fast enough If slow 
Let's you see the forest, the trees
And let's you stop let's you be.

Was today typical?

One man's or woman's typical
Is atypical for another. A pickle
That's what it is, figuring out 
The ins, outs, or what it's about.
Typical is inimical to rah rah ha!
Typical cries out ho hum and ba!
Hum drum is typical. Ordinary is
Atypical or a typical day. A quiz
Will whiz by in a blink if you can
Say any day is an ordinary one.
Today was typically atypical to
Me. How was it, friend, for you?

Timed out and tuned in
Silly willy nilly but sharp
