The Poet: James Broughton, “Quit Your Addiction”

“Quit Your Addiction”

“Quit your addiction

to sneer and complaint.

Try a little flaunt,

Call for comrades

who bolster your vim

and offer you risk.

Corral the crones,

Goose the nice nellies,

Hunt the bear that hugs

and the raven that quoths.

Stay up all night

to devise a new dawn…”

- James Broughton,

“Little Sermons of the Big Joy”
