Anger is a chancy fuel
Posing danger of
Unregulated burn
Righteous indignation is
An awesome flare
But iffy to maintain
Unhappiness is
Water on the flame
Unlikely precondition for success
I’d rather cultivate a
Calm and eager heart, a joyous, steady conflagration
Powering my touch
So tickle me before a competition
Rather than tick me off—
Tease with gentle conundrums
Primed for laughter
Poised for combat, heedless of success
My creativity unfurls
Remind me I know
All I need to know, I need only
Get out of the way
Lulled with confidence my mind will abdicate
Responsibility, settle down
With popcorn, cheering from the side
As all the proper actions happen by themselves
Just as you say they should…
