Here is a poem called Mistakes by Adelaide poet Charles Crompton aka professional performance poet, Shaggy Doo Beats. We all want to be grown-up and in control. This poem captures the essence of the offness we all feel on an off-day often in an off-month in an off year. We all have them.
I was a child
That grew up
But as an adult I still in life can
Muck it up
Fuck it up
Stuff it up
Bugger it up
Screw it up
Mess it up
Smash it up
Rip it up
Blow it up
Throw it up
Live it up
Loosen it up
Giveit up
Pick it up
Hang it up
Tidy up.
