candide

"we live
in the best
of all possible
worlds"

he thought
as he watched
somebody
push him
into traffic

he awoke sweating
fearing his faith

floating through
had never
steered him wrong

but he worried
was fate kind

was weathering any storm
as good as avoiding the rain

after many years
of disuse
his oar had become
a rudder

he couldnt tell
if the subtle drag
was better or worse
than rowing in circles

he worried
only for a moment
and then
he went to work
