• Down near the bottom
  of the crossed-out list
  of things you have to do today,

  between “green thread”
  and “broccoli” you find
  that you have penciled “sunlight.”

  Resting on the page, the word
  is as beautiful, it touches you
  as if you had a friend

  and sunlight were a present
  he had sent you from some place distant
  as this morning — to cheer you up,

  and to remind you that,
  among your duties, pleasure
  is a thing,

  that also needs accomplishing
