always throw caution to the wind
for a life well lived, for I did not, and lived a life well-lied
always throw caution to the wind
our life in this realm is short-lived, no bigger than
the size and brevity of our divine sparks existence
always throw caution to the wind
long winters and short summers recalled on paper,
have you not realized that mere gods worship immortal men,
our gloried markers, our stories, our ephemeral skin - forever
always throw caution to the wind
jump in after it, the winds course is a buffeting, head knock heading,
breeze, gust, gale and storm, a recovery chance of chances, a tourney
where the thrill of the unpredictable toss is not a simple head or tails,
but a slot machine of innumerable outcomes randomly optimized
always throw caution to the wind
the life irregular is the normative, the outcomes always positive,
this is the only thought that should ever provoke -
be wild but not crazy, think clearly and dare define safety
on your own terms, your own odds calculating, sew your own net,,
pick your wind and as a parent, always dress appropriately
for I am still crazy after all these years
