do it different

if you’re stuck — do it different
try a new, weird way
instead of drinking coffee
drink tea to start your day

used to wearing shoes
with matching yellow socks
how ‘bout trying sandals
or maybe even crocs!

like to eat a sandwich
with ham and cheddar cheese
when you’re at the diner
"roast beef for me, please”

always take the bus route
numbered fifty-five
walk for twenty blocks
or maybe even drive

you have to shake your brain up
feed it fresh to-dos
soon you find you’re looking
at a life that feels quite new!
