How To Live


Find a hammer and chisel

Locate a granite mountain

Carve a hole to call your home

Become your best hermit

Or caveman or “cave-person”

(To be politically correct)


Take that same hammer and chisel

Remove that chip from your shoulder

(To be the best you can)

Find a bolder when you get old

Roll it in front of the entrance

(Your home is now a tomb

See you soon)
