one last one

1 I don’t normally post my old poetry, but he went away today.
and even though it’s been a year or so, I thought it fitting to read this again. It’s called Rooibos, because that’s what we drank.
i.
and we started
with the end;
the same place,
the same time:
Friday in the park.
ii.
five hundred days ago,
you said we would never
stop
now,
“it’s gone, along with the love.”
iii.
I’m glad,
and sorry you didn’t tell me,
sooner.
iv.
I though I could move,
but only made it
to the park
down the road;
cried, and called your
mother.
v.
and she says you’re fine,
of course you’re fine;
but for the first time,
you say you are not,
vi.
and there was no anger,
it was just sad;
we had given up.

30You don’t know anyone at the party, so you don’t want to go. You don’t like cottage cheese, so you haven’t eaten it in years. This is your choice, of course, but don’t kid yourself: it’s also the flinch.
Your personality is not set in stone. You may think a morning coffee is the most enjoyable thing in the world, but it’s really just a habit. Thirty days without it, and you would be fine. You think you have a soul mate, but in fact you could have had any number of spouses. You would have evolved differently, but been just as happy.
You can change what you want about yourself at any time. You see yourself as someone who can’t write or play an instrument, who gives in to temptation or makes bad decisions, but that’s really not you. It’s not ingrained. It’s not your personality. Your personality is something else, something deeper than just preferences, and these details on the surface, you can change anytime you like.
If it is useful to do so, you must abandon your identity and start again. Sometimes, it’s the only way.
Set fire to your old self. It’s not needed here. It’s too busy shopping, gossiping about others, and watching days go by and asking why you haven’t gotten as far as you’d like. This old self will die and be forgotten by all but family, and replaced by someone who makes a difference.
Your new self is not like that. Your new self is the Great Chicago Fire—overwhelming, overpowering, and destroying everything that isn’t necessary.
