(little miracles)

The little miracle of

leaking milk from our skin

The miracle of two mouths

attached at the lips

The miracle of inhaling

another human's essence

at the onset of remembrance

and the extensive and

naturally occurring miracle

of seeing someone again

in your dream

as if in reality

 

And on the bus I guess

the mechanical voice was saying

“Please hold on.”

Except I kept hearing

“Please mow the lawn.”

“Please mow the lawn.”
