Go Outside

Whatever you’re doing right now,
wherever you are,
no matter what time it is
or who’s watching:
stop whatever it is that is;
stop that and go outside.

Not just out the door,
or down the hall or ‘round the corner —
Outside.

Beyond that definition
of who and where you are
that clouds your vision
and you can’t tell your arse from your elbow.

I mean: Go Outside.

For a little while.
Everything will get better
(not because you do
or don’t want it to)
in a while.
For a while.
Yours and everybody else’s.
