Let’s Take a Breath

Just for today I thought

Let’s pretend we’re sane

Take a breath and hold it

While the stars dance

With that craziness that happens

When we forget to breathe

With regularity but that’s

within the bounds of acceptability

Let’s do that today

Let’s pretend with everything

In us that nothing matters

But right here and now

And what’s happening

Right in front of our eyes

In the present – the lovely

Unveiled, unmasked present

Let’s do that, okay;

What do you say … are you up for that …
