you should do this

i like

it

when people tell you to breathe,

or to hydrate,

or to get

plenty of sleep,

and knock off the sweets.

they use the words

'you should'

quite liberally.

they have figured life out.

and they are

here to help you.

you should read this,

watch this movie,

go here, go there.

you should really go to

Italy sometime.

or take yoga,

or rub this lotion in

your hair.

you should put your money

into Cd's now,

or you should try

sitting up a little straighter

when you go

to sit down.
