The yellow crocus just outside the front door is not a miracle of light. - Matthew Dickman
The
yellow pee in the bowl blossoms like a
crocus,
just another irritating reminder that life is kind of miraculous.
Outside, I'm prepared to be astonished:
the true flowers are enough, full
frontal plant nudity blows the
doors off my mind. Must I be confronted with what
is my own one-in-a-billion chance of being, of being me -
not a rock, not nothing -
a miracle? I don't want to appreciate that,
of a groggy morning, sleep-scented, relieving myself into a bowl of
light.
I don't have the razor's edge of bluster anymore. - me
I will eat alone. Please
don't call me,
have a plan to cheer me up.
The
razor's on the
edge of the tub, not in my hand.
Of unhappiness - I know it, but lack the
bluster of action. It just doesn't matter
anymore.
