A few things I'm going to do to cheer myself up: wobble my round body into zigzags and spirals
force myself to smile at people who may not deserve it
drink an iced tea on the porch in the sun while watching the clouds make shapes
allow the stench of grief to fly from my bowels into crystal clear toilet water
sing a song about my aunt Viola chasing my grandfather around somewhere heavenly
hide under the bamboo trees out back
rub my face in dirt
cook some corn on the fire
stare at the cats while they stare back at me
send a care package to grandma millie with pictures of things she's never seen
bathe in lavender while wearing my favorite mustache
listen to THIS SONG for just a wee bit
