and it all just seems to be perfect
the way there's 24 hours in a day
the way we fall asleep at night
the way we roll over in the morning,
to the subtle alarm clock of sunshine
and it all just seems to be perfect
when hungry strikes at noon
better feed your tummywummy,
better eat something soon...
and everything just seems to be perfect
perfection glistening on the sidewalk,
a puddle of rainbow-colored oil
perfection when tying your shoelaces
out for a brisk walk in the evening
perfection when putting down the blinds
turning on the lamp at midnight
hearing a street cat meow outside
tripping and not scraping your knee
having a sip of wine and some bread
kneeling and praying at the alter,
perfection with your milk and cookies
perfection with your potatoes and gravy
perfection with your beans and rice
perfection on your lovers face
as you slip under the sheets
and into a perfect universe
by me
