condensed morning of snow

comes a day that is useless
snow heaps in schools close
a day february 29th
a day that should not have been
a day loosely added on

nothing of importance happens
all is relativized by happenstance
we prepare for days like this
we know it's all a sham
what we do is loaded with superfluity
we know somehow deeply
that we are expendable

our life is mysterious
because chances are we need not be here
but we are

in an effort to make the best of it
we make something we call a life
we do what we must do to  make it real

yet we never quite rid ourselves
of the truth of our negligibility

how surprised then
when someone shows
a naked eye
and speaks of love
