getting it right

who/what

would i be

if "i" got it "right"?

lost

in the dream

the prison

of "rightness"

from this tall tower

i'm afraid to fall

one mistep

and i'm off the roof

freefalling

what if

i relax

look around

and

have the ride of my life

who knows what will happen next?

the unknown can't be scary

only the imagined is

how do i know

what getting it right is?

i want to be alive

have fun

not careful

guarded

only one possible right footstep

that's not alive

its dead

a rerun

a past

filling in the blank on a worksheet

someone else made up!

100% correct!

they say

you win the prize:

my approval

but who are they?

do i really want their approval?

the worksheet writers

the prescribers

the "knowers" of what's good for me--

to be like them

yes, what would i have

what would i be

if "i" got it "right"?

thank you for this key

to the door

open sky

currents lift

and sail

swirl

change

move

life is

what it it

as maximal as it will ever be

right now

how light to drop

the chains of "getting it right"
