It is not okay
to be in a park after dark
with a shovel.
It is not okay
to sprint
anywhere after 1 A.M.
It is okay
to mess your pants
if and only if someone points a deadly weapon
at your face already too scarred.
It is okay
to call it a day when
you know you've had enough
of anything worthy of metrics.
It is never okay
to cash out
for convenience's sake
regardless of how
another day will
measure up
to what you just went through.
