ALL Review is pleased to present our How to Live series, poems chosen to help readers navigate these difficult and rapidly changing times.
by Kathleen Rooney
Everything's amiss
in America's abyss.
But it's possible to enjoy
the music pouring from the car.
that hits you, or to adore
a world adorned with ice crystals,
or to bask in the sunbeam shining
through an empty bottle,
so I suppose it's possible not
to get throttled to death
on this orbit of disquiet.
I've got to at least try it.
