I don't know why
it's of any consequence,
since I won't be a witness,
but thanks for the gift,
for your reassurance
that there is a future
I would welcome,
though I've done nothing
to earn such good fortune.
You must forgive me
this bare presumption,
appropriating your days
to serve my ends,
fashioning my happiness
from your uncertainties
and your certain future grief,
for I have no explanation
that would satisfy plain sense,
but it is good to know
that you'll be there.
