is when the soil becomes fertile,

with flowers blooming to perfection.

is when a graduate goes for that sure win interview,

the panel falls in love with a warm glow.

is that planned vacation that comes finally,

because the stars have all decided to point north.

is a time to do good with the wallet full

and the ones helped are baking cakes, bread, all lining up

in a row when reciprocation is how it should be.

is working hard even though the boss is not watching

simply knowing that god rewards what is not seen, heard.

is being happy with summer, with cheery neighbors

nodding politely, maybe doing a little dance or two just for laugher.

is setting sail to the ocean whose blue is forever, so very calm

with a breeze just about right, temperature cool to the touch.

is getting out of bed with renewed energy to go to a job

where the customers are always thankful, the tips always appropriate.

is showing up to work knowing the subordinates are able to

handle the workload, to keep the peace, to go above and beyond.

is doing something, anything really only if the tarot cards

say this is the perfect timing, the fortune teller says go.

is having everyone agree with, be at peace with, be on board

with any whimsical thought, any frivolous actions, it’s all good.

is signing a contract that is huge when the sales person is assumed

to have one’s best interest at heart.

but most days have a fair weather touched with a blemish,

most mindsets have a flaw that cuts,

most passions will get hit with life’s absurdities,

most actions come with results not ideal,

most bodies fade out with grunts, groans, curses,

most spirits get trodden with the same doors slammed,

most ideas get snuffed out before they can take wings,

most work goes unnoticed because everyone is also thinking of themselves,

most of life is normal, abysmal, like a loop, or volatile like lithium,

it’s not about when, if, how, what,

it’s about moving, going, taking, grabbing, participating

when chaos, erratic behavior, less than ideal, a bad hair day

is mostly what actually goes on –

one not fine day to … …

one not fine day and

one not fine day is the only time choice actually happens.
