The most interesting thing about me

Is hard to explain

It’s like what happens when you tear the roof

Off your house, and find 

The inside has disappeared

That’s how I feel on rainy days

And when she said “No way in hell.”

And when I laughed at the diagnosis.

I am not the sum of the parts that are so interesting,

But I am glad the parts are there

Hanging by a thread

Or a wire

Or a thought

Or something that was whispered on the wind.

The most interesting thing about me is that I am alive.
