Side B

Break free if only for a moment
shout, cry, laugh, create, be quiet
Become your side B

Let a drop of it hit your lips and tongue
move, slide into it
feel it, get to know it

Play within yourself
if only for a moment you are 8
playing in the yard
stick in hand
you are King, Queen, Teacher, Firefighter, Superhero

You are not a path singular in direction
but possibilities
A huge limitless vat of possibilities
all mixed into one
try them all in combination
introvert, extrovert, free-wheeling, reserved

Let your other side breath, grow
hear your Side B, let it play
turn it to 11
Your very own Maggie May, Don't Worry Baby, I Will Survive

Break free if only for a moment
shake loose of that which keeps you
as yourself
