Poem-- If Attitude Counts...

 

If Attitude Counts

Maybe I can imagine, since there’s no definite place I belong.

I could pull up sideways to any table, and get exotic crumbs on floors that aren’t mine.

Maybe I can make the space inside my heart

That sometimes feels like a void

Into some death-defying canyon

That the nouveau put on their bucket lists,

And say there is a beauty there, call it “spare” or “harsh”

Does “It’s all in how you look at things?” have that kind of magic?

If it did, maybe it could change a blank page into my

Own personal tundra that’s just mine to explore.

Trying to think that doesn’t quite make it real

But I work better with big goals.
