gratitude
as much as i hate the inspirational quotes growing on posters and t shirts and the internet, the demands for gratitude in the face of every crushing pain, i will say that i am grateful every second for your presence in this spinning disaster. the night is cool and i’m in the driveway in my socks, concrete and rocks beneath my heels. everything is wrong about the president and the health clinic and the campaign and the state of you name it. i don’t notice the moon. i do notice the light spilling out of every corner of the house. you are all inside, with basketball and homework, and i stop to hear you faintly the tv and a question about cereal. when i go in you will tell me a rambling story i’m not interested in. then you will cry about the test and you will smile from underneath your headphones and ask what did you say? i would not trade one second of this for a billion dollars, or three wishes, or even the moon.
