263. Just Driving (Myshkin, 2023) · free verse
My spine showed up again,
Just now with a shy smile,
With my tires eating asphalt
As I seek the distant sunset
And, just maybe,
The sunrise that follows.
I don’t anticipate much.
Who knows. Who cares who knows?
The sweet extraordinary smallness
Of problems melting into God,
Into One Life,
Into Nothingness that hugs you back.
In this single rich moment.
I… Don’t… Care.
