How To Be a Dinosaur*
Well, it's easy.
Eat only what you can taste.
Close your eyes to listen deeply.
Look at what's in front of you, not on a screen.
Mull things over. Tell stories.
Write letters. Actually mail them. So
someone can hold them. Hold the
hand of someone who needs you.
How to be a dinosaur?
Well, it's not so easy.
Talking with someone he's checking his
phone. Wishes you'd text him instead. He's
got things to do, moves faster than you.
After all you're only a dinosaur.
Why be a dinosaur?
Well, it's bound to be asked. Truth is,
the world needs something. Something
real to hold to. But don't worry we'll
be here. We're easy to catch up with.
After all, we're only dinosaurs.
*For my Joseph-- my favorite dinosaur
