The world doesn't stop
when I gain a pound
or when I choose a cheeseburger
over a cheese-less one.

No,
there's no real message here
about health or lack there of.
I don't mean to speak

of the should DOs and the should NOTs,
the can or can'ts; ain't and ain't nots
(the grammar police would surely
come for us all).

Sometimes I feel like we could use a reminder,
that we each have a place, a path,
dreams and goals,
and someone interested in their fulfillment.

Yes,
this world does have room for you,
and in a variety of ways
makes constant valuations and bids,

like a hot stock ticket
traded into infinity,
because somebody - somewhere
thinks you have value.

Yes, this world needs you too,
and so do I.

This so imperfectly shaped orb
is going to keep orbiting,
regardless of how many times
that cursed spinner spins,

and that seemingly intense red line
which may or may not indicate
socially defined success or failure

doesn't really matter at all.
