list #2

by joel abel - Taurus

he still laments
that he cant seem to 
write a happy poem.

so he makes a list 
of good things going on

the dark blue storm
rolling in from the east.

the electrified humid air.

the minutes slipping away 
until she comes home.

the old dog beside him on the porch.

make a list of these things,
he tells himself.

tell yourself they are all
you need.
