\nanother sunny day
\nyou’ve woken up
\nand smelled the coffee
\n(and drunk it too)
\nnow
\nambling along aimlessly
\nyou’re taking time
\nto smell the flowers
\nyou think your life
\nis a hallmark card
\neverything smooth
\nas the surface
\nof a sunlit sea
\non the calmest day
\nthat summer can gift
\nthere is no turbulence
\nnot so much as a rocking wave
\nwhen the crusher hits
\nhurtling out of a sky as blue
\nas the mater misericordiae’s robe
\nyou have only a moment
\nto blink
\nand think
\nbut everything was so perfect
