under a rock.


my dad would say, 
I was found under a rock.
worse things have happened.
there's life down there
we forget to see,
important work
to us all.
so maybe I count all the more
because of my
dirty
creepy
crawly
grunge-eating
tiny
wet
ugly
crowded
fight­-for-survival

origin.
I'd say
I came to life
prepared.
