Skippy for Justin

Instead of counting
up 
our blessings, I say

we just start ticking 
them
down as we eat them—

but wait—

Does a 
stout proud jar of chunky
peanut 
butter and a sleeve 
of several
dozen saltine crackers tally

as 
two things?—or more
like
forty-
one-ish?

Let's think
on this 
a minute licking—

plastic white butterknives.
