glorious new year 2010

aspens on the granite canyon trail between moose and jackson hole

i'm learning from my disability, my eyesight, the eyesight that can't be fixed, that i don't want fixed
that if jesus were to walk in this room now and say
how'd you like to see like everyone else
i'd say no which astonishes
people and would me if the roles were reversed
and a cancer patient were saying that they
were happy with their cancer
or a deaf person their deafness
but my brain was formed around this disability
like tree roots meshed among the rocks
and though someone might quibble with the tree's formation
it's none the less rooted
