joy from little things -
fire in the evening,
coffee in the morning -
though I have felt the pull
to dedicate myself
to larger causes
And have done so,
and felt the heady hope
and also undercutting deluge
of despair. Shouldn't this be easy?
- To put my full weight
into what I know is true,
and to be wholly unimpressed
by contradicting lies?
Shouldn't this be easy?
But when it's not, I guess
I also am allowed the little joys.
