IN AND OF ITSELF

Sipping coffee

in a hotel lobby

The Eagles are singing

“Take It to the Limit”

on the radio

maybe it’s a play list

but those days

are long since gone

It’s no longer

about pushing limits

or squashing boundaries

but as caffeine

rejuvenates a weary soul

you realize

that survival

in and of itself

is pretty damn sweet
