Holistic

My usual self
is a trickster who seems
ever so slightly melancholic.

My lovely cousin,
a recovering alcoholic,
says I never allow myself
a moment of peace.

My lovely mother,
a recovering workaholic,
says I ought to be,
more dynamic and decisive.

My lovely father,
a recovering control freak,
says I should make better plans
for money, house and a career.

My dreamy self
thinks i will only ever stop
being so slightly melancholic
when you and I are
fucking up against a tree
forever finally bucolic.
