It’s not absurd
for members of the first species,
who are aware of the scope of terrors in the universe to have an “off day.”
The miracle of existence is a sacred humiliation, a holy terror,
a paradoxical blessing,
a benevolent fluke
and an impossible mystery.
I am a part of this impossible mystery.
May this “off day”
be an unexpected invitation to feel, in my body,
the miracle of
my mysterious existence.
