I climbed a long staircase
to speak to a guru in tight pants

~ I asked him why I couldn't be successful

he smiled his perfect smile,
brushed his golden locks out of
his ocean-blue eyes and 
told me that I was the architect of my own life 

"be mindful of your thoughts -
because they become things" 
the guru said to me while 
sipping coconut water out of a conch shell 

"what does that mean?" I asked

"be careful of what you think about," he said
while flossing his teeth with a lightning bolt
"your thoughts can be made to come true."

"okay..." I replied nervously
