Two Platitudes (by Mitch Sisskind)

 

Chicken of the Sea Chunk Light Tuna in Water 50 & Less Sodium Chunk Style - 5 Oz

 

 

 

 

 

Easier said than done is almost always true:
For example, the act of getting out of bed.
On some days I find laborious to do,
But I got lots bigger worries in my head.
Like, making a tuna melt is effortless to say
But is there tuna in the house? What kind?
No Chicken of the Sea? If not, I may
Goddamn well simply change my mind.
Yet the smart boy wrote how dying
Is easier done than to talk about:
It happens by itself. Just take a breath,
Your last one, and the lights go out.
   Sometimes longed for, but sometimes cruel,
   Is the good old exception, that proves the rule.'

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark


from New and Selected Poems by David Lehman
