a perfect day in Kansas

if there was ever a perfect day
this one is here, today, visiting me in Kansas
it’s not hot, not cold
there’s a bit of a breeze, kissing me softly

I scared off a mosquito before it bit me
a bird is joyfully tweeting
I am mobile
I can walk

I can see
my eyes are good
not great, but passable
two puppies lie at my feet, letting me be their queen
my tummy is full
a perfect day
