I almost didn’t get up this morning
sleep
was so I-want-to-stay-here-the-world-is-fucked
but
there’s still something blissful about breathing
and
notwithstanding what’s all too typical in this world
I
opened my eyes and found you there
as
startlingly usual and knew that with you and our daughters
and
friends and the means to ambulate, see, hear, and help
I’d
miss a lot just sleeping, somnambulating, dreaming,
so
I threw back the covers and jumped into another
day
since chances may not be as abundant
in
the after-life or next-life if there are such things. Better to say,
Now
