i suppose, i should be grateful

i suppose, i should be grateful

(sigh)

another uneventful day.

i suppose, i should be rather grateful
to feel well and be alive;
to have free will and have made it through the tunnel again;
to not have witnessed disaster (again)
or felt fear when each passing minute
of ignorance feeds the raging fire.

i suppose, here—healthy and whole—today, i should feel grateful,
and happier still, should i be as bored all the morrow.
