Life is Goo
A truck sign reads
'Life is Goo' the 'd' worn off
I sighed 'life is goo'
We both goggled like kids
Past grieving one doesn't forget
Life is messy disorganized
chaotic joyful
dog's slobber on shoes
a sink of dirty dishes
unfinished business
baby's messes children romping
the horror of war
dying that lingers too long
algae clinging to the edge of a pond
primal soup becoming us
Why do I love you
because life is goo
