I awoke this morning looking

all the world

like I knew

knew where I was going

who

I am

and laughed.

I don’t.

Cars crash

people

die

countries war

against themselves…against

life

rocks erode

shorelines change

things disappear

I wake up

and

it is…what it

always

always

always is.

Except when

it

isn’t…then

it is simply

merely

entirely

completely…

singularly

beautiful.
