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/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 beat all 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
forgiving and loving

that we find our marbles
before we lose them


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