I want to be certain like a map.
Certain like a stop sign.
I want to get off this rocketing carousel.
Stop playing Russian Roulette
With my thermometer.
Trust that a sniffle isn’t a harbinger of doom.
Stop extrapolating every ache and pain.

Because normal never looked so good.
Always be a poet. Even in prose.

A sequence of my poems has been published in a hardcover book entitled The Music of Leaving Poems by Tricia McCallum
