14 february

for example
finding - i should say discovering-
that i did buy baked beans
after all
matching my baked potato
that much more rewarding
this is something to hold on to
laugh that falls out of my mouth
not earned with clever effort
but there it goes anyway
a race finished
enough to say
struggles, philosophy, impossible questions
sleepless nights and stomachs
and yet
spoon of leftover sourcream
thrum of fallasleep dishwasher
snow in the maybeso forecast
nothing and no one to answer
