May 4, 2011.
That day and the rest that year
and every day since then
except one in June, 2011
and another last April
and evidently a few more
I haven’t found…
We’ve posted fourteen hundred
times but that many days
and nine have passed.
We’re perfectly imperfect
and need this blog
whether it helps anybody else
or not. Writing is a tool
and there’s nothing like writing
(publicly, daring others
to catch a lapse) day by day
to drive home the point
we recover today
one day at a time
no matter what the number is
nothing matters but the fact
today is one.
