what if you’ve already had your last pudding
have another one now, just in case, just this once
what if someone was aching for you
to just smile back, holding their arms
out to the void and your surrender
so, arm them with your smile anyway
what if the book you need to read
the one that changes your universe
what if that book is already on your shelf
giddy with fresh ideas and unwritten plans
what if you never catch that fish of an idea
well, just keep fishing and enjoy the peace
