YOUR PLACE OR MINE?                                      

        

Do people perk your brew?

Motivate, energize, and keep in touch with you?

Are you on the phone, the net

Know who’s where and doing what?                       

Good at sizing people up?

Like to meet, team, schmooz, socialize

even when relaxing?                

I have friends who find that taxing.

Bad to take a rest from the rest of us,

they are on the roof shingling,

instead of at receptions mingling.

Like to get physical, morphing things with tools –

flowers on the patio

or easels in the studio.

Klutzy me, a putz with things or people.

My muses entice me inside

to dream and wander,

ponder thoughts, not groups or pots.

What excites or comforts you?                                          

Do you dabble between talents,

change leopard spots?

Your genius may be . . . balance.

Wherever you like to hang your hat

may you visit it often –

and get away from where you’re paid

to race those rats.
