After the drop off
follows the come up.
You may get kicked off
the horse, but get up
before mother nature
takes her course. Hills
and valleys. Cats in
the alley. Shooting dice.
Mix the beans with rice.
Enjoy the climb back
to the top. Ignore the fact
that you dropped off.
Always take your socks
off. When you slip, flip
a switch. Slide down
but never stay down.
It may take a bit for you
to get over it. When you
see a ladder, climb it.
One day, when it’s all
said and done, you’ll be
eye level with the sun.
