gratitude

don't anyone let me tell you i'm not grateful
because i am grateful, really so, except when i'm not, see
the list of things i am actually good at
is pretty short, it is:
1. I AM USUALLY GOOD AT CROSSING ROADS.
sometimes actually i'm not super good at roads, but usually i am. like,
i will be walking on sidewalk cement and come to a road
and not stop, at all, not even half-step pause on the asphalt
like i'm uncertain; no. and i never dance
the half-run man-jog across with
one arm cocked up like its wrist is broken;
nope. i just stroll straight across, not even trying.
except once i got almost ran over
and i had to jump up, and i looked and the girls
who had to be driving screamed
but don't worry, everything turned out okay.
in consequence:
that's why don't anyone let me tell you
i'm not grateful, because i'm very grateful
for all the people who remind me
about all the things on the long, long list of things
i'm not so good at doing.
it is very difficult to remember all those things (in fact,
that is on the list too) so there are a lot of people
on the team that helps me remember. lots of people!
i am friends with most of them, some even related:
you'd think it is amazing how many people i know on that team!
even some people who really hate me
help me remember different things on the list.
i think sometimes the team is so big and popular because
it is a pretty big project if you think about it.
without them all i am pretty stupid and
i don't really think myself about the list almost at all.
that's why don't anyone let me tell you
i'm not grateful, because i am very grateful,
really super so, except sometimes i am not as much
grateful, because it is not something i am good at doing.
it is on the other list.
