a misplaced comma,
in the scheme of things,
can be self-fulfilling
imperfection defines
individuality.
the ebbing of
sufficient expression
survives only
in a soda pop world.
best to practice
a left arched eyebrow
attitude and stop
blaming destiny for
misdeeds.
the concept of
our behavior is
heavily influenced
by our perception
of the way others
view us.
always be yourself
because the original
is worth more
then a copy.

If only, we can become, less, uptight in everything we do, it would make our lives, a hell of a lot, easier, and also make us all, easier to, get, along too.
