The Patch or How to Kick the InternetEmailFacebook Habit
Grind a long sunny walk to a powder
Blend in a letter
a real letter in an envelope
written to someone you love
Fold in two hours of solid writing
(substitute with your own action
toward your own lifelong dream)
Sprinkle with the joy of reading
a real book
made of paper
Pour in a cup of focus and accomplishment
toss liberally with memories
of life before the Internet
(if you don't have any,
borrow some from an elder)
Wrap a layer of tales with
friends over a slow fine meal
newly learned and cooked
methodically
Uncoil a long strand
of reminders
of the preciousness
of time
(again seek elder for supplies
if needed)
Wrap tightly and pound this mass
into a paste
Spread on a piece of cloth from
your favorite pjs as a kid
whisper
how did I want to spend my time
as a child
Slap it on the back of your neck.
Do not remove until urge to
check InternetEmailFacebook
subsides
Go outside
Find shapes in clouds
