It’s National Poetry Month, so for the third year in a row I am attempting to write a poem-a-day. I claim no great expertise as a poet, but in the past this exercise has awakened me to the world around me. It forces me to pay attention, to unbury things lost to habit and routine and familiarity.

The year of 20/20 vision
has so far exposed
our near-sightedness
and blurred our
assumptions and plans.
If we actually
thought
we had our
future in focus
then today is our
day.
For we have
played the part
of a fool.
