THE SIMPLEST THING IN THE WORLD

The simplest thing in the world,
is the hardest

thing in the world—
flip your old ballcap

upside-down
and catch a little sunlight,

instead of only
blocking it out;

notice the plaintive
shuffling of your feet—against

the unstoppable stillness
of the ground;

look up—past the place
where pointed rooftops reach,

but don't ever touch 
the obdurate clouds—and feel

certain
(without having

to parse it in a sentence) that
help—is all around.
