Getting Off The High Horse

By Justine C. Tajonera

The dirt is a good thing
to be

in.

It keeps you close to
what is
real,
to what will
not fall apart.

When you strip away
the privileges
and take hold
of what is
necessary,

you realize
what your life
is about.

There will be no
distractions
to who
you are
being.
