Show Me How to Show Myself

It is not a matter of following all the steps,
But a way of stepping off the path into greener grass.
It is not a matter of preparation,
But a way of being comfortable unprepared.
It is not a matter of knowing what to do,
But a way of stringing mistakes together with style.
It is not a matter of putting the pieces together,
But a way of being whole, despite defect, despite flaw,
Despite profound empty places in one life's experience of the world,
Of painstakingly placing my list shred of sanity
Into my little, black book of madness–to close it again,
So I can show the world what is left.
