going on

no matter what happens,
we still
need milk and bread.
we need to do
laundry,
walk the dog,
put gas in our cars.
no matter
what the headlines
read, what the news screams
we are watching what we eat,
walking, running,
listening to music.
lying on the couch,
watching tv.
in some small, insane way we
win, by going on
with our daily lives,
or maybe we just don't
know what else to do.
