A small recognition: self-care is sometimes simply pulling the cover over your shoulder before you fall asleep.
Perfect for Any Occasion (excerpt)
by Alberto Rios
A pie gets one chance
And knows it, wearing as makeup
Those sparkling granules of sugar,
As a collar those diamond cutouts
Bespeaking Fair Day, felicity, contentment.
I tell you everything is great, says a pie,
Great, and fun, and fine.
And you smell nice, too, someone says.
A full pound of round sound, all ahh, all good.
Pies live a life of applause.
