My Millipede of Days

Last quarter of the snow moon
Over the morning commute,
And the millipede of days
Adds another leg. Absurd,
Common, and miraculous
In its awareness, this life.
Allow me to unpack that:

"Miracle" is over-used
When used even once, but here,
In the half-use meaning "life,"
It has some power because
Life should be impossible
And yet, here it is, for now,
Aware of being absurd.
