They Say Some Behaviors Are Learned

I have learned to be glad
for the things I’ll
never understand

What about
when the heart knocks back?

I feel transformational

This year most of
the world walked
a bit in my
self-isolation moccasins

Understanding
isn’t something
I can grovel for

Yes, there are dark corners
to cling to

on a crumbling seawall
you wanna talk
ultimate dreams

I want to call you up
and say that every
movie I watch lately
stars you.
