However you look at it
it’s the simplest things that matter

for example miracles
he looks and doesn’t even believe in sinful conception
a twenty-year old skeptic with long experience

the uncertain enters noiselessly through the back door
monochromatic like a movie extra
it grows like a gray bench in the park after rain
and you can’t even see how it turns into a baobab
(it won’t fit in your arms)
a hundred mile forest

a mile.
