(for Lady)

Take a deep breath

in out in out in out

Keep walking 

one foot in front of the other

Put the kettle on

have a cup of tea

Get out of bed 

shower brush your teeth

You are not living just

existing but that's alright

Staying alive

is what it is about

no need to go to the movies rent a dvd

best one playing in your head

24/7 

what you seen it before no problemo

it is constantly changing on a loop

today happy ending tomorrow tragedy

it's your baby Mr Director

don't like that bit when you went off the rails

but you crashed the car to get the girl help

cut cut take two superman wins the day

rescues maiden slays dragon phew

me me me culture time to put out a heart warmer

block buster re-run of love story girl has cancer

 again boy takes real good care with her all

the way every chemo cycle coaxing her

to drink Heinz tomato soup wipes her brow

miracle

by Emily Dickinson

 Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune without the words,

And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;

And sore must be the storm

That could abash the little bird

That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,

And on the strangest sea;

Yet, never, in extremity,

It asked a crumb of me.
