Flight 25

my brother
and my father
tease me
about the coldness
of my heart.
and yes, I've seen
some days, had some times
but I'm lucky
because it
was privilege
that made my sun
shine, nothing else,
nothing more, no
special intellect
or desire
just the rudiments
of enough food
and love
to last two lifetimes

ah yes. privilege. and humility and gratitude. nice one.


question: what if we all had only half the food we had? enough for "one lifetime", to paraphrase the art doctor.

or, another question: is the love to lifetime ration divisible?
