53

It seems like
I have no rights to anything and everything I love
this current life
I am taught to abandon things
leave behind without regret or second thoughts
the lives I need  so much for mine
so thank you God for coffee in this boutique paper cup
and sunshine dancing in the skies today
the way
she could be dancing in my arms if 53 was not my mark
I still believe it is not
I really don’t
but then
I don’t mind being 96 percent
with one percent within
as each one of us
against each one of Him
creating this fate
