Remaining cool,
is a very valuable tool.
If it can be used,
while we're being abused,
by life.
And several million other,
things that truly bother.

I lost it so many times,
now cool just self sublimes.
In fact I get too cool,
others wonder why I don't act a fool.
The normal person,
would be cursing.

Then when they can't move you,
they get pissed off.
And don't even use love as a weapon,
it makes them worse.
Until they cool off,
do some thinking,
or quit drinking.

But they'll never tell,
next day be right back in hell.
Doing the same old same old.
But if they live long enough,
a deeper understanding arrives.
They look back on their fool,
realize why it's wise,
to try and be cool.

I lived to look back!
