Sometimes
I wish
I was the calm
thinking
introvert type
but
I got too much
hype
in my gonads,
too much war
in my testosterone,
too much reliance
on my reptilian brain
and not all of my
synapses in the limbic system
are firing properly
or with integrity
but I can do a
series of simple knots
with my sneaker
laces often ending up
in a tidy satisfying double bow
and I know from
vast experience it is always
best to seek peace
even though war
may appear justified
and righteous.
