one of those days
gary jurechka
Ever have one of those days where
everything goes just perfectly? When
everyone you meet is smiling and friendly
and helpful, and you get the parking spot
nearest the door, and it’s payday, and there
mail brings only good news, and you have
the whole day to do as you please, and it’s
so warm and bright that you can’t help but
notice the blueness of the sky, reveling
in the wonder of life, and you’re compelled
to run laughing through sun-drenched fields
and you feel so alive and everything is right
and you’re so filled with love and peace and
harmony that it’s overwhelming to the point
of unbearable ecstacy — Ever have
one of those glorious days?
Well, I thought as I sighted my sniper rifle
in from my rooftop vantage point,
this sure the hell isn’t one of them.
