In the quiet morning, you
Open your eyes and your thoughts
Acknowledge that this world,
Presenting in your brain
As so much awareness
Of nothing much, is still
Pretty much the same. Good.
Oh, and you’re not in pain.
Even better. So what
Will these waking hours bring
Before you sleep again?
You’ve got no miracles planned.
You haven’t bought any
Lottery tickets. Luck
Will have to operate
In a limited range.
Yet, feeling well, feeling
Well enough alone, yields
A kind of excitement.
When the body is free
From pain or exhaustion,
The most ordinary
Possibilities seem
Bright opportunity.
