day to day insurrection

insurrection

i am here for the
day to day insurrection
of your breath,
the regime toppling power
of your grin.

you remind me
that what i really
have to do today
has nothing to do
with that
millionth meeting
that trillionth email:

my real
contribution
is laughter
in the bay wind,
a hand in your hand,
and this poem,
this
word.
