To Get To That Point

Janet Kuypers, November 15, 1998


I haven’t figured out how to relax yet
I see people do it
I see people lounging around
but I’m always thinking
and I’ve been trying to figure out how to stop that

it’s like, I wish there was just a switch

for your brain, so that
when you don’t want to think you could just
shut the brain off, or put it in
“sleep mode,” as they say
for computers

well anyway, I’ve just been thinking that

I need to learn how to relax

I even bought one of those
massage mats for chairs
that vibrate and stuff
and I have to admit, it’s a nice mat
it is very relaxing
I enjoy it
but the key is, I have to

get me to the mat in the first place

because I could buy all the traps in th world
to help me relax more
but I have to want to use them

and I have to use them too, I guess

and that’s where my dilemma is
I don’t know how to get to that point
