Perfection

Perfection

By Maureen Ucles

Hey you!

Yeah you!

Step away from the car!

Hands up!

Where I can see 'em!

Don't move!

Wait for it!

Wait for it!

Hey you!

Be patient won't 'cha!

Jiminey Criminey!

Wait for it!

Wait for it!

You don't have 

to be

to be

or not 

to be

Really though...

You don't have to be

so darn

Perfect!

Really

Really

Really

Take a chance

Get down your thoughts

Express yourself

Be generative

Not

Wait for it!

Not stinkin'

Perfect!

Perfection

Stifles

Is a bit trifle

Am I aiming my rifle

Close to the target

not quite

YET!

You don't have to be perfect

to write

talk

engage

be on the stage

think

think

think

share

give a care

with your scowl

or snare

I don't care

You just don't

have to be 

perfect

to write

reason

reside

reply

delete

Uggh!

Not in the least

not in the slightest

you can be rather numb

or the brightest

take the flightest

not a word

you cannot

Nah!

I am not

perfect

and 

I'm 

loving it!
