America’s Greatest Promise

Posted on August 12, 2023August 12, 2023 by Erin B.
You are thrilled by
America's greatest promise
of absolute good.
Lured by movies,
chewed up like a fall guy,
only to be conned
in Hollywood plot.

The overwhelming pressure
of that
romantic illusion.
Fate hardly matters.
You adapt to believe there is
an absolute one
for you.

When we find ourselves
wanting nothing,
when one is so full
joy emanates from inside
and I feel now as if I want to live
each day
in the absolute fact
the sun is shining.

Absolute Ordinary

Things that people
do easily
could be difficult for her.
Normal gestures painful,
her triumphs were
of the absolute ordinary.
