Notes in Sobriety
A Little Story
If I had a pen, I’d write it
If I had the time, I’d hike it
If I had the balls, I’d say it
If I knew the game, I’d play it
If I had the means, I’d splurge it
Or the wherewithal, I’d cut it
If I had the heart, I’d blow it
If I had a system, I’d rig it
If I had the buzz, I’d snort it
If I had the rush, I’d run it
If I had the desire, I’d fuck it
If I had the moves, I’d court it
If I had the grace, I’d bless it
If I had the space, I’d hide it
If I had the sass, I’d light it
If I had the power, I’d control it
I don’t have such things, I admit it
don’t force the change, I accept it
don’t interfere, don’t ignore it
just sit with it, in the silence
