Todays Sunrise
today’s sunrise was prettier than all of the others
and I have seen almost thirty-six thousand of them
I know because I calculated how many days I have been alive
thirty-five thousand, nine hundred and seventy-seven sunrises
Wait! A second said a colleague. You watched the sun rise every day?
I am a bit sheepish now. Maybe I have seen twelve sunrises.
