Striking out
on my own
way too young
gave me,
some skills
that still inform
my life today.
Maturing too young
can make one
a child's version
of an adult.
But you can also
continue to grow
through a succession
of maturities.
When you are
young
walking into adult
situations
[ like renting a room ]
it is important
to act
like you belong
there.
Never crane your neck
looking at all the
tall buildings
like a visitor,
but walk &
behave as if
you were born there,
that this is
Your Turf.
Short version:
'Act Cool.'
BE Cool!
Walk with confidence
but not swagger.
The Earth
is Yours,
ALL of it-
YOU belong here.

i think you always looked like you belonged there. :)
ReplyDeleteI know coaches sometimes tell football players that when you score a touchdown act like you've been in the endzone before. Sounds like this is similar advice.
ReplyDeleteGlad you've remained a cool cod! Enjoy your easier swim these days.
