Advice I Wish Someone Had Given Me
by Ann Darr
Be strange if it is necessary, be
quiet, kindly as you can without
feeling the heel marks on your head.
Be expert in some way that pleasure you, story-telling, baking, bed;
marvel at the marvelous
in leaves, stones, intercepted light;
put truth and people in their right-
full angle in the sun...find the shadow,
What it falls upon.
Trust everyone a little, no one much.
Care carefully.
Thicken your skin to hints and hurts, be
Allergic to the soul scrapers.
