lovers get muddled in my mind

was it you august baby

or the man in the unfinished story

about fireflies?

yesterday is too long ago

tomorrow is too far away

i can’t help but to laugh

as absurdity abounds

what is the voice always

calling me truly saying?

fight or flight

keep calm and carry on

whatever doesn’t kill you

makes you stronger

no, none of that tripe

it’s just saying

laugh, smile, wink, sparkle

and not to be forgotten or misleading

love
