The Handbook
My heart truly goes out to
all of the people who think they are better than me.
I know that I'm not anything special...
if they saw my house cleaning habits
I know they'd agree.
My clear open heart sees way beyond this...
we're all here in this world
without a handbook...
at least I didn't get one..
if you got one that you can share with us
we all would be grateful.
Most of us, no matter how exalted,
stumble around trying to find our place
in this tumultuous world.
Until you hand over
this definitional text
we're going to have to assume
that you're no better than we are.
