Maria Giesbrecht
Overall, I'm okay
with cold butter on bread
and putting on a sweater
that hasn't been washed in days.
I'm okay with swept, not mopped, floors,
and people who say sorry a little too much.
I'm okay with drivers who stay
at a green light too long,
and I'm fine if the coffee
isn't two minutes fresh.
I'm okay with Mondays, and mistakes,
and I make do with a little mess.
I'm okay with the world
not being all the way okay,
and with my bones
not seeing the light some days.
