Be half a woman

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
