And there’s more … “But some bonuses, like morning,
like right now, like noon, like evening.” — William Stafford, “Yes” in “The Way It Is”.
Yes
It could happen any time, tornado,
earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen.
Or sunshine, love, salvation.
It could, you know. That’s why we wake
and look out – no guarantees
in this life.
But some bonuses, like morning,
like right now, like noon,
like evening.
— William Stafford, “Yes” in “The Way It Is”
