BUTTER SIDE UP

I dropped a slice of toast today and it landed butter side up
as I stooped to pick it up I could not stop smiling
the day no longer loomed before me
it stretched on, without horizon
a straight line of possibility
butter side up
perspective shifts, the world tilts toward me
some day to come I will ask myself how such innocuous moments can matter
so much more than they should
but not today
today, there will be no more questions
