72 Days
In seventy-one days you could break a habit.
Or learn a language, start
a new hobby, pick up guitar, ride a
camel, get a tattoo, meet
The One, discover the enlightened, hike
a mountain, tame the lions,
eat a crocodile,
write a book, read the Bible, convert
to vegetarianism, eat a jar of
Nutella, lose 10 kilos, gain
a million bucks, get a promotion, compose
a hit song, raise wolves,
… famous … be…
love…
do
…
but in seventy-one days
all I did was occupy
a hospital bed.
