WELL DONE! CHANGES by Gregg Norman

Scars on skin

see changes

Epiphanies

sea changes

From cradle to grave

rolling over me

like rogue tides

One day following

a herd of longhorns

the next day reading Yeats

Life’s cabinet

of curiosities

Anything to avoid sameness

the mundane buzz of homogeneity

Living upstairs

in the brain’s attic

Guarding my spirit

against humdrummery

The monotone musings

of the masses

Tedium in the medium

Driving myself outward

onward and upward

to new pursuits

passions devised

by a restless soul

and an unsettled psyche

I’ll die wanting

to be someone else
