Time is on our side

I believe there is more to Life

and I want it.

That wallet so thick

I can't sit comfortably

and mom will say

“you see, you did it”

and I will say “I couldn't have

without your love and support.”

I believe in a higher power

position from which I can

command with fear and love

and I will learn loads about Life

and people and myself

and ultimately, about the Truth

and Peace and maybe even God.

I believe there is nothing perfect

save for the warmth between the hands

of The Beginning and The End

who are strolling in a park

big and exquisite in ways that prove

I am but a small being on a small planet.

I believe that the entire Universe

is in that space between their hands

and they are madly in love (Alf and Ohm,

as they are introduced by friends)

and that we are a germ from their

sneezes or kisses or some more lascivious

exchange of bodily fluid

and because of this

we have Grace,

this possibility of Forever

this confidence that there will be tomorrow

more, better,

and I will be forgiven.
