ON MY BEST DAYS I AM




oh life i had
so many questions for you
in my youth: emphatic

queries intent on pulling
out the truth. i wanted to 
know that suffering was

in service of some
higher purpose, and also 
how to feel, on the whole,

somewhat less nervous and sad.
now older i am suffering more
and caring less

whether life is really “worth it.” 
on my best days i am 
content simply to live it.
