Riding Home
I'm so grateful
for all the lives I've led,
all the parts played
in this human panoply
of characters.
I'm so grateful
I didn't get stuck
in the rehearsal with a boxed life
or a part meant for mimes.
Thank You Universe,
for giving me the spice
and all the sordid places
that brought me into the light
on bent knee with charms
too numerous to mention.
I'm so grateful
for the ride home.
