One addition per coupling.
No Olds after 90.
Five mouthfuls of nutritious waste
suited to taste per day.
No wars, rumors or nasty jokes in the air.
Daily Olympics of Good Deeds
to watch round the clock.
Joining one’s favorite congregation
to keep meteors at bay.
Or
Step back and take it all in.
Eat those crispy leaves.
Help the worm turn over
for a little bit of warmth.
Place it on your tongue
and swallow long and hard.
You’re the Bard on a barge.
Push on!
Two Ideals
