Member-only story
the true genuine joy of routine
a poem
To me, genuine joy
may not be a big belly laugh
nor connection,
to another -
I’ve yet to find,
I’ve yet to find,
I’ve yet to find.
But the thing
that gives me the most joy
is that quiet certainty
of routine, one step in front of the other,
the predictability
the love
I give to myself.
