What you should do each morning

Peel back the curtains from your eyes,

throw off the covers from your tongue.

Stretch your words out along the verandah

and greet the fresh morning.

Open the windows of chance.

Let the light breeze of something happening

blow through the cobweb corners of your head,

the dusty stairs of thinking.

Eat from a deep bowl of ideas for breakfast,

take a large speckled wish

with fingers of buttered dawn birdsong.

Pull a poem on to each foot, wear

a painted shirt and symphony waistcoat.

And in your shoes soled with imagination

go out and meet the day.
