The Blues

When you get
The Blues
like Anthony Bourdain

you have to
look at the
bright side

of things
in an attempt
to keep

your head
above water.
Think of all the

wonderful gifts
this world 
has to offer

that are free
for the taking.
The sights, sounds, smells

that make up a
tapestry of a
delightful life.
