the way you look is not at all indicative of who you are

i tried to make it
matter today,
tried to make
any of it
matter.
tried to matter.
today.

midway through
the day,
without any successes,
i turned my attention to
a sandwich;
oil
and vinegar
on sub-par bread.
fermented cabbage.
soft-ripened
italian
sheep milk
cheese.
rosemary and basil.
thyme and oregano.
yellow
onion. orange
pepper. black pepper.
grated horseradish.

the bread was
sub-par, but
still it held
everything together.

one way to say
“nothing”
is to say
“nothing”.
another way
to say it
is,
“glorious
mysterious
peaceful
joy”.
