Travel Slow
Originally published in Affairs of the Heart, Vol. 2 August 2017
If and when you pass through this world,
Make it mighty slow.
If you pay attention to everything
People say as you go,
You will always be tired,
And kept in a stew,
Because a negative tongue
Will always have something to do.
