The good you are
is so much bigger
than the little checkered parcels
that you tried to earn,
the sit still in your seat
do what the teacher says
kind of good
The good you are
is so much bigger
than what you hoped you might achieve
or what you hoped
to be accepted for
Note this: the good you are
could never dim out towards the edge,
could never fail to fill
every niche and corner of your being
The good you are
has no nemesis, no cavity.
It is not part of you — it’s everything —
all of you — clear, whole, free.
