I'm Thankful

that the porcelain moon glides through her phases
that the planets march in a line across the sky
that Polaris won't be our North Star forever
 
that spring rains carve new beds with their floods
that summer sparked wildfires unmap forests
that autumn hurricanes spawn surprise tornadoes
 
that angry protesters march in the streets
that my noisy neighbors are happy drunks
that all my ex-wives have remarried
 
that I'm putting on weight for winter
that my beard is graying but not my hair
that I'll die someday
 
but I'm not dead yet
