Unprecedented

One might say without hyperbole
that each morning we manage to
wake up to begin another day, much
if not most—or, really, all of what

is experienced each hour of that
couple dozen hours, should we
make it through, is unprecedented.
As we cross the threshold of any
new moment we’re going through

something so unique it has not been
done before. There is such meaning,
poignancy we can take from each.
This routine can take on a normalcy,

in that it is so familiar, so constant.
And then, holy shit!, there was today.
