If during your daily travels

you see some mad cacophony

of art and pain and messy life

and think

This is not for me.

then it’s ok to walk away

or run or crawl.

But if you find yourself thinking

Oh but what if I just tasted

one smidgeon, one lick,

I wonder what it’s made of, after all.

then taste it my dear

and learn the feel of it on your tongue

because it’s never too late

for a flavorful life.
