Jumping Through Hoops...

structured existance

plodding along

in dogged pursuit

of mediocrity


pleasing everyone

but myself

afraid of getting

out of step

or...

out of time


watching others

wondering...

what it would be like

to be like them

instead of...

a trained seal

clapping and barking

waiting...

for a piece of fish


is it wrong

to dream of...

shaving against the grain

crossing on yellow

sleeping with the light on

or...

letting the water run

till it's cold????


tired of shaving

without a mirror

refusing...

to come

face to face

with a man

content...

to spend his life

jumping through hoops!!!
