the otherwise blessed
---------------------

prepare
        for something like
        a blessing
        branded carelessly
for whom it was made
        san francisco
        found
        an audience
        member
        in me
just as proud
        as i am
        staring at you
        now

or more specifically
        in doubt
        of nothing
        i could
        vaguely
        remember
        having lived
        with or without

it's just the way
        it goes
        i guess
i'm standing here
        impossibly
day dreaming
hypothetically
        my belly
        starts
        to hunger
these things
        wondering
what gives
to leave me
standing here
i guess
answers
elusive
such
as yes
in my head
render me
less fortunate
but otherwise
quite blessed
        i guess
