The Great Outdoors

Step one: free yourself from chair or sofa.
Step two: relax remote control grip, switch
laptop off. Ditch the to-do list, leave unticked
the emails, the phone calls, the unfixed drip
of the tap tap tap . Step three: head for the door,
ignore the washing up, the calendar on the wall 
the weeks scrawled full and don’t forget forget
your mobile. Aim for the wide open. Retreat.
Away from the streets (bypassing the one-way
and the out-of-town shops) until the roads
become lanes become tracks becomes the right path
and you’ve reached that point. Far enough
to stop, stand still, reset. That’s the art
of the great outdoors the next steps are all yours.
