Losing a Million May 18,2020

when I lost a million dollars

I was angry that life couldn’t do compassionate math you know see what happened adjust the books look for a hidden bonus or owed favor

or bring out something special from the back vault but she didn’t

still she knew exactly how much

I needed and more than that

taught me that wealth and riches were merely caloric numbers that composting bad apples or any failed experiment would grow anything sweeter and of superior value and provide the nutrients for any shot at happiness
