survival

accidents bound to happen
when two people are
in the same room together
there’s not a single subject
she knows accurately though
everything is nothing but a blur
elementary ideas of modern life
she overheard
when others talked
she was never taught,
never learned properly
but listened closely
to energies that came into languages
extravagant and foolish —
circumstances no more than common
made her way through things
she knew close to nothing about
abundant — survival phenomenon is —
you can make yourself do
impossible things
