Remember how simple it all is:
Want to listen to some music?
Just put on headphones
And lose yourself in the beat
Suited to your sense of rhythm;
Or drift into sleep with muttering
Of the modern gurus' preaching
Straight thru your ears, brains, and guts.

Want to write something?
Just dust off your childish journal
With cuttings of girls from magazines;
Write down your scientific theories,
Your wise prognoses, the could-be
Futures of humanity, your unhinged rants,
Your blames and complaints about
Your boss tyranny and life under pressure.

Want to take a stroll and walk around?
Just unplug everything, leash your pet,
Walk a couple of miles in the pitch dark,
Reach the beach,
Build an unreasonably large bonfire
To sacrifice your eyes, staring into
The leaping flames.

Want to compose some poems?
Just put the business book down;
Try some of Robert Burns,
Instead of Author Burns
And his economics, or
That of Walt Whitman or
Post-modern Ted Hughes's. . .

Want to engage in conversation?
Ring up the best interlocutor
You have ever known and who
Is nice to talk to, and take him to pub.
Light each other’s minds on fire
To celebrate your second wind tonight.
In short, do what you want, but
Never let yourself be in want of doing!
