This is a poem about bad days, good days, and how we respond to them.

The Poem: What is a Day?

What is a bad day
when a good day
can provide the mind
the most ammunition?

What is a good day
when a bad day
can provide the heart
the most insight ?

What is a banal day
but an opportunity
to turn it all
upside-down?

What is a day
but a continual moment
from which to be
surprised?

And what is
a moment
but a lifetime

stretched across infinite

bouncing from one

big bang

      to

          another?
