I wish a wish
on your behalf
that on this day
you get to be half
Half as driven
Half as intent
Half as amazing
50% percent
Be less
have fewer still,
tasks to do
goals to fulfil
Be a one-tasker
why not I say
one must experience
this too for a day
Go lock yourself
in a room or such
a retreat they call it
not asking for much
Shakespeare did it
(Austen could not)
did the kids eat
was never bethought
And when those kids walk in
look another way
run if you must
go quick I say
Run like the wind
no sweat no worry
lie low think nothing
be ordinary
Be ordinary
a standard issue human
oh and barf at anyone
calling you super-woman
Be half a woman
Be half a woman
for a full day
it won’t be easy
but try it today
