I got out of bed on two strong legs.
It might have been otherwise. I ate
cereal, sweet milk, ripe, flawless
peach. It might have been otherwise.
I took the dog uphill to the birch wood.
All morning I did the work I love.
At noon I lay down with my mate. It might
have been otherwise.We ate dinner together
at a table with silver candlesticks. It might
have been otherwise. I slept in a bed
in a room with paintings on the walls, and
planned another day just like this day.
But one day, I know, it will be otherwise.
