Live life, and in living life remember that there is no fear, there is no guilt and there is no shame. Love each other, and love will remove all anguish.
Or do the opposite and be an a-hole.

Poems are opiums fallen for the ocean
curators of the monsters we pretend
to keep safely under the bed
poker set eyes roll the dice
do we open the world up again or
set it alight with one button
opiums are poets in the breeze
angelic poppies offering glimpses
into our museums of pain
tragedies replayed over and again
again until we stop for breath
return to hiding safely under the bed
poems are our opiums of choice
cut down to the vanishing bare bones
volcanos erupt in another room
for other people leading a contrasting life
the world turns at offbeat speeds
it’s when we decide to leave we smile
