Every Once In a While

 

Every once in a while

we all need to remind ourselves

just how human we really are

 

My friend J is pretty much the laid-back type

He likes to remind himself how human he is

by taking a long drive down the great river road

 

My friend E is more the adventurous type

He likes to remind himself how human he is

by hiking into the mountains

and leaving the known trail behind

 

My friend H considers himself the athletic type

He likes to remind himself how human he is

by swimming out into the ocean

way beyond the sight of land

 

My friend R is inherently the daredevil type

He likes to remind himself how human he is

by diving into the clear-blue sky

 

My friend K is the gambling kind

He likes to remind himself how human he is

by losing all his money

 

My friend T is a born romantic

He likes to remind himself how human he is

by getting married

 

My friend T is the self-destructive sort

He likes to remind himself how human he is

by getting divorced

 

My friend T is a hopeless romantic

He likes to remind himself how human he is

by getting married again

 

My friend B has the occasional trouble with alcohol

He likes to remind himself how human he is

by getting blind drunk

The next day he knows painfully well

just how human he really is

 

My friend T Philly has trouble controlling his brain

He likes to remind himself how human he is

by taking a rubber mallet to his skull

Instantly he knows

just how human he is

 

We all have our own ways of hitting our reset buttons

 

Myself

I guess I’ve done just about all of these

one time or another
