Before You Call for the Shovel

Do You Know
The Feeling?

The One
Where You
Imagine
The Best Use
for You
would Be to
Scrape You Up
and Toss You in a
Compost Pile
to Be Spread
on Someone’s
Vegetable Garden?

Wait!

Before You Call for
The Shovel …

Imagine Instead …

You Are
a Master of
Creative Imagery.

It’s a Thing
You Just Decide
To Be.

When You See
That Hairy Dude
With Tattoos
on Every Square Inch,
You Say:

“Sir, You Remind Me
of That Afternoon
I spent in Paris,
In The Louvre.”

When You See
That Sweet Mama
with a Couple of
Little Holy Ones
Pretending To Be
Noisy Brats,
You Say:

“Ma’am, You Remind Me
of Mother Teresa and
a Guardian Angel,
Rolled Into One.”

Now, Get Your
Ass off that
Compost Pile and
Take It From Here,

Beautiful One.
