   Some say no one leaves the physical   
   except by dropping that body   
   of knowledge.   
      
   When one enters the woulds one may find   
   one has taken a path of sorts.   
      
   Further up or down the trail one may find   
   a fork at which one may choose the shoulds.   
      
   Woulds, as woulds would have it, may be desires.   
   And often conditional, woulds-if, if-only, etc.   
      
   Shoulds should be the fork left untaken.   
   Not for another day. Not for any day.   
   They spell a bad day all too often.   
      
   They are also conditional or contingent   
   and might need to be taken on occasion, if,   
   the situation calls for such a decision to be made   
   on a decision-tree and one happens to have   
   an inkling of how to go about it.   
      
   So, remember kids, read the signs   
   and take the time to be in the present   
   as the present always opens all by itself.   
      
   Simply stop, and take a look.   
   And you may find. Exactly.   
   Where you are, at present.
