Take Care

Do not step
in too many puddles,
watch your step,
when you write, change
the names, it is exhausting
always reaching for high
marks, so make the measure
cautious, tentative,
Do not take advice
from people who are asking
for money, be willing
to cast business cards aside
along with expectations
and, if you can, fears.
