One Time!
(a blessing for my friends in South Africa)

that we find our tails
today rather than tomorrow
and only go chasing after them when
we need the exercise, excitement or entertainment

that we find our true love
and she/he/they/it loves us back
and only gives us the hassle we deserve

that we find our feet
and like the look of them

that we find our voices
and like the sounds of them

that we find our callings
or they find us

that we find our paths
and they cross often

that we find our vocations
and they surpass all of our expenses

that we find our favourite party clothes
and all the best parties

that we find our joy
and don’t get locked up for it

that we find our passion
and don’t give a fuck about the stains

that we find our keys/wallets/purses/glasses/drugs
where we last put them down
and that we remember where we last put them down

that we find our children
loving and forgiving

that we find our marbles
before we lose them

that we find our food
and our selves
and our lives
to our very own liking
