the life in this day

the life in this day
I feel,
much
as I have seen

a distant smudged
word

on the blackboard

through myopic eyes.

it just is.

I don't have to move closer to know.
A reasonable amount of squinting is proof enough.

So!

I am driving along the rainsoaked route 148
and am passed by a cavalcade of dark motorcars
with headlights bla
zing

this string of mourning is going the opposite way

I tell myself that there is
life in this day
(fighting the urge to turn on my headlights).
