How to start again
Rip a fresh piece
Close an old door
Knock on the window
Look at the sky
Hold her hand
Hold his hand
Let go of his or her hand
Eat better
Take care of yourself
Dream about the future
Quit dreaming do something about it
Hire a helicopter
Look at the world. Stop. Really look at it.
Don't cry about the past
Don't let it define you
Imagine what the future has to say
Imagine yourself in 10 years time
How far away is that anyway?
Christmas?
We are each and every one of us a product of people
People make people
People make people
Think outside the box
Have courage
Take care of your siblings
Take care of the homeless and lonely
By take care I mean notice
You don't have to talk to them
Hold meetings, take minutes
Keep to time limits
Hold forums
Seek input
Look clever
Read books
Look behind you
Look backwards
Face forward
Cook slowly
Stop striving
Keep thriving
Stop breeding
Stop sleeping
Take action
Keep some bees
Imagine alternative worlds
Tend soil
Be ambitious
Keep moving
Buy a jeep
Don't buy one, borrow it
Or find one secondhand
Set sail for the inland
Take the old with you
Have more meetings
Draw pictures of how things might be, on the ground
Draw stick marks in clay so we won't forget them
Talk to people
Talk to more people
Ask questions
Keep notes
Fingers crossed for a visionary
Fingers crossed for a watershed
We're all just sitting here waiting for something to happen
But all that's needed is to convince a bunch of men in a room
How hard can it be
Luck has nothing to do with it
And think of the Cuban missile crisis
So close and no cigar
We survived
Many times things work out for the best
Think about those times
We'll be alright
Of course we will
And by we I mean them
Perhaps
I mean
Perhaps
They'll be alright
Perhaps
They'll be alright
Our future us
Until then
Keep the door closed
Build the walls high
Because those other them
The ones in the now
are waiting outside
in this game of time
So don't let them in.
