Today

Today the Pope grew a beard,
and I wondered if I'd ever fully appreciate the charismatic nature of a sunrise.

Today the mailman did his route backward
and drank his coffee with half milk, laughing about correspondents.

Today we carve our goals in fast food booths and cower in the comfort of persuasiveness.

Today we bask in words, comprehension is the adversary, rationalization is television- our bases are covered.

Today the government played tennis and beat down my friends. I screamed "love" in the shower, once for every election I survived.

Today a tour guide purposely became lost and wondered if he'd ever fully appreciate his beard.
