Admit


Admit: life is littered with miracles,
pregnant, bursting, fecund with the decay
of every squirming offshoot, lyrical

as chaos unfolding, forcing its way.


Acknowledge: all miracles are neutral
in effect. That you don't see is a trick

of perspective; the universe, frugal 

and cold, has no intent and does not pick.


Apprehend: what consumes you is never
a consideration. Your fall has no

impact; your weightless want is no lever

to move the miraculous world. And so,


Submit. The world, physical, is just there:
does not watch, does not wish, and does not care.
