Sometimes, Outside is more
than being on the road
with an agenda full
of health care
with a head full
of things to arrange
and a belly full
of metabolic problems
but also a heart full
of zest for life
that keeps me going
and gets me out of bed
Sometimes, Outside is more
than infectious air -
the space of a quiet park
the freedom of my pure self
in good times and bad
all year round
under thin or thick clothes:
full of flowers
