i

i will admit

that i am broken

but at least

i still took a walk this morning

and saw a little bit of sun

and listened to a coworker tell me

about problems back home

and rode the subway to the silence of strangers

who could just be as sad as me if they look up

and i do at home

to a cat down at my toes

who warms my legs

and who i am sure i am doing the same

as i feed it

later pawing at an empty fridge save for some beer

and i drink

more than i should

more than you can know

with a smile on my face

for after arguing with the clouds about

tomorrow’s weather

and sifting through clothes not too dirty

i go to sleep triumphant

having survived another another

and the admittance into this

last will
