Poetry 152: The Truth of And

The Truth of And

The truth is,
loving a human being
is both painstaking 
hard, and ridiculously
easy. 

The truth is,
the line between
what is right 
and what is
wrong, is both crystal 
clear and completely
contextual. 

The truth is,
my children’s health,
well-being and safety
are my parental responsibilities, 
and largely outside
my control. 

The truth is,
I am a living 
organism who will
die sometime within the next
day to fifty years,
and there are 
dirty dishes in the sink
that need to be 
washed. 

The truth is,
paradox and ambiguity 
are the truth. 

Welcome to life,
and living. 

-Me
