I feel quite open now,
I sense only open air all around me
so come on, fling a Hail Mary
with a dream-coached combination of muscle and faith

you wake up beside your old love, the one who never had any conditions, the one who waited you out.
This is life’s way of letting you know that you are lucky.

And then life lets you go home to think
about all this. Which you do, for quite a long time.
This is life’s way of letting you know that
you are lucky.
So life lets you have a sandwich, and pie for your
late night dessert. (Pie for the dog, as well.)
And you wonder,
is this a message, finally, or just another day?
Life lets you take the dog for a walk down to the
pond, where whole generations of biological
processes are boiling beneath the mud. Reeds
speak to you of the natural world: they whisper,
they sing.
This is what life does. It lets you walk up to
the store to buy breakfast and the paper, on a
stiff knee.
It lets you choose the way you have
your eggs, your coffee.
Then it sits a fisherman
down beside you at the counter who says, Last night,
the channel was full of starfish.
