For a Good Time by Ron Zutz


For a good time, walk out the door. Feel the fear, and stand up anyway. Inhale slowly, deeply. Take the first step. Despite trembling arms, grab the door handle and twist. Walk out despite a tightening chest.
For a good time, move toward the light. Step over the bumps and around the cracks. Keep walking when balance wobbles. Move around puddles. Move toward life.
For a good time, see the sun twinkling through green leaves. Ignore palpitations. Feel breezes. Hear people laughing, and ignore premonitions of doom.
For a good time, show up.
