1. decision
to pass on it or hit it
when it was first offered
made it obvious as to
where
I would stand
in the great battles.
2. buy
no trust
is complete,
but trust
anyway.
3. tools
what you work with
is not as important
as the end result.
4. process
any thing worth doing
is worth doing well.
every loose end should be tightened,
every tear should be repaired,
clean up should be meticulous and
anything left over should be
saved or shared.
5. sharing
it’s never
100 %
reciprocal; someone
will always
take more
than they should.
share anyway,
it comes back
around often enough.
6. nostalgia
looking back
through haze
makes everything
golden.
7. paranoia
yes, they’re watching.
you’re suspect,
they are too, all good things
are under suspicion to someone.
8. appetite
if you can swallow it,
it’ll do the job. all
that matters is empty.
9. once it’s done
it can be revisited,
but it will never
be the same.
