Lay flat.
Flatter.

2 Sighs.

Lay there. Humming.

Humming.

What difference can art make in your life?

Touch a part of your body that needs attention. 

Ask that part of you what it needs.

Give yourself what you ask for.

Awaken

Score For A Tired Day

Breathe Deep.

Look out the window.

Stretch your legs.

Groan.

Flutter eye lids. Think out loud.

Stop caring...care deeply.

Hum.


Call your boyfriend.

Whimper...cry a little.

Stand up.



Carry your baggage. Don't forget.

Drag your feet.






Drink water.

Laugh sarcastically.

Spend too much money.

Eat more junk.


*sigh*



Nod off.

Snore.


Change places. Kick the baggage.

Admire toddlers with their mommies.







turn off your ears.

Worry.


Panic.



Retreat. Retreat. Acquiesce. Come down.


Be patient.

Get comfortable. Say goodbye. Hold back tears.



..................................Fly high.

Fidget. Turn. Huff. Puff. Squnch. Squish. Land.
...Softly.

Go home. Be home. Be home. Love home.
