Proof of Life

That we want to document 
our daily minutiae and keep the torn
halves of tickets to remind us we do
more than just stand in place.
That we keep a fourth of anything
in the freezer while quickly
enjoying the rest. That a tattered
leaf and a finger of mold on tile
is a sign of an active underground.
That the skies can still look
startled rather than just one
uniform shade of blue.
