sometimes life is like Road Runner
nothing can touch you, nothing can stop you, everything’s going your way
sometimes life is like Wile E. Coyote
brick walls, gravity pulling you down, and everything blowing up in your face
sometimes life is like Road Runner
someone just won’t leave you be, constantly after you with their agenda
sometimes life is like Wile E. Coyote
your focus all your creative work-arounds toward a single goal
sometimes life is like Road Runner
your life becomes the continuous adaptation to someone else’s mission
sometimes life is like Wile E. Coyote
your single focused goal keeps you from finding other ways to meet your breakfast needs
sometimes life is like Road Runner
boundless energy, rivals feeding you, the only cheerful voice in sea of silence
sometimes life is like Wile E. Coyote
no matter what life throws at you, you just keep going
sometimes life is like Mom
who snaps off the tv and barks the order “go outside and play!”
you scream
you resist
you pitch the epic fit
but once you’re out there
you couldn’t be happier rolling around in your bliss
