The guts of the matter await.
All you have to do is reach inside
and don't bother telling me
how messy that will be.
I already know it.
Your choice:
Remain pristine and crisply ironed,
shoes shined
and hair slicked back.
Or go for it.
Put on an apron if you must,
but plunge your mitts into the heart of the matter;
the heart, the liver and the lights.
Messy as all get-out
and no real guarantees
that you'll like what you find.
Or even that it will be useful to you,
in that utilitarian universe
(bubble, really)
you live in.
But think of the aphorisms that urge you on:
If not now, when?
Take the plunge!
Go for it!
You're not getting any younger!
Reach inside with both hands
and take what comes.
You've nothing to lose!
