Do you even know what destination
Means? How about adventure?
Of course, because that’s an everyday
Occurrence—a quiet miracle every time
You leave and come home safe
In a gift shop I ask you to put down
Some whimsical trinket of ceramic
Or wicker, afraid it will break in
Your tumbling eager hands
Don’t worry mommy, you say
It’s not fragile—a word you learned
From someone with lots of experience
Watching sturdy stuff shatter:
Tech bubbles, ankle bones, appetite
It *is* “a quiet miracle every time / You leave and come home safe”
Yeah, that’s #truth
How to arrive at these stunning lines!!!!!!!!
Don’t worry mommy, you say
It’s not fragile—a word you learned
From someone with lots of experience
Watching sturdy stuff shatter:
Tech bubbles, ankle bones, appetite
Absolutely LOVE this!
