Dung Beetle

Dear sir
Please tell me why you need a therapist
Perhaps too much
Too soon
There are the

Nuclear perks
Splendid
Sumptuous
Plentiful
Unforeseen and lovely
But alongside the

Inconvenient annoyances
Unwanted attention
Microscopic examination
Brooding over the impossible desire to accommodate
And the difficult decisions ahead

Stay or go
Fly to greater heights
Soar to extraordinary
Shedding veracity

Or remain unexpected
By means of unpredictable honesty
And idiosyncratic quirkiness
Hovering just above unusual

Well sir
God speed
May your journey be mindful
And your process abundant
Dotted with awkward rewards and startling revelations

May you dig like a dung beetle
Past your quivering exoskeleton
Laying fertile eggs in palpable tissue
Finally encircling truth
