Recipe for Dying

On By Anna EastlandIn Poetry

“Don’t do so much,”

they say,

“You’re taking on too much—

take it easy,

relax.

You’re too busy

to add anything else.

Do less,

sleep more…

don’t push so hard.”

They mean well,

of course,

but to me

all this sounds

like a recipe

for dying.
