Mediocrity

I’m striving for mediocrity.

Yes, in some areas, I will need to significantly up my game.

But I am also willing to let the quality of my efforts wane in many other areas.

You know, stop being such a freakin’ show off.

Stop meeting so many deadlines.

Stop returning so many texts, emails, phone calls.

Stop trying to write the perfect poem, and write something totally worthless.

Like this.

Really, all this striving is getting in the way of surviving,

It’s time to pour a tall one of the wonder of this life

and start imbibing.

Mediocrity is not that hard a pill to swallow.
