Good Things: A List
good things,
a list:
you are good
birthday king, i see it all,
you stretching from your infant self
to this young man before me
the bated breath of the
world waits for you
you make music and
learn better kicks, you
see through lies
you make lists of good things
that fortify you
you are fifteen years old
and no one can define you
except for you, Leafy,
remember it
our friends came home
and Isaac has become incandescent
with joy
we will watch the
new president’s speech
and it
will not be hateful
women are
wonders
i am allowed to be
the dogs are always
comforting
green is a soothing
color and there is cauliflower
growing in our garden
i will eat vegetables today
God has not given up on us
and
we
have
each other.
