Something About Obedience


Today, I shall obey…
gravity. It’s pull on me from the
beginning was meant to be.

Today, I shall obey…
the rule of law, both natural and
man-made, mostly.

Today, I shall obey…
The dictates of body and mind,
hoping they continue to function
acceptably.

Today, I shall obey…
the laws of physics even though
the calculated math never made
sense to me.

(I have had inertia explained to me
using X, Y, and Z a thousand times,
and I still don’t understand.)

Today, I shall rely upon common
sense to get me safely and securely
through yet another day.

There shall always be laws to bend,
to break, or to obey. And if no one is
looking I may just j-walk across the
street knowing the quickest way to
get from point A to B is in a straight
line.

Obedience aside, and unless I am
run over or given a citation, I see it
as the most convenient way for me
to get across the damned street.

If it works for the chicken, it’s
good enough for me.
